In what rational universe should the US now deserve a AAA rating? Moody's, as with MBS's during the real estate boom, is already lying about our credit worthiness.

And you can bet that when the political/financial screws are applied Moody's will continue to find that the US's credit rating is a stellar AAA.

Moody's should be happy. The more our real credit rating differs from the politically correct one, the more bribes they can request in return for services rendered.
