Sounds like something a totalitarian government would do. Obama's henchmen criticized S&P for downgrading the U.S. but have not proposed banning sovereign ratings. Yet.

How do they propose to implement this? What are they going to do to stop Moody’s or S&P from issuing a rating in spite of their little diktat? Will the send Eurozone troops to NYC?
I really hope they try this. I really do. It’ll collapse Euroweenie credit ratings over night.

I think S&P, Moodys, Fitch, etc. should issue a press release stating that they will not longer rate sovereign junk bonds from EU countries.

That these people can even talk like this with a straight face shows they are doomed.
This is like trying to reason with my bipolar SIL. She believes that if you pretend something isn’t there, it ceases to be there.
The leaders of the EU are mentally ill. And they are sucking everything into their alternate universe.

“EU Considers Temporary Bans on Sovereign Ratings”
Just a little more overt, on what’s already happened worldwide. Oh how they’d love to have a “temporary ban” on the U.S. vote on the upcoming elections. The vote, the only thing holding them back now.
