I know the ratings agencies are BS, but at least it's something. This is like asking your bank to make you a loan without pulling a credit report.

It is almost like stabbing the country to death when it is already down. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1424951But .. if they weren´t in financial troubles .. they would not get a downgrade. Anyway .. the desperate attempts to save the EU constantly remind me of this: |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1424951If I file for bankruptcy, my credit worthiness goes down, and lenders will start charging me more to lend to me. It's what happens when you're not responsible with your debt. Why should a country be any different? Doesn't the investor deserve good information about his potential investments?

I don't get the same privileges and wealth as some rich people get. The EU does make policy and laws, you call that communism or just government? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1424951Ever calculated how much is left after all taxes ? For the avg. citizen in the EU this is more (ap. 60-70%) than the SU ever achieved. If this is not communism .. what is it ? Robbery ? Enslavement ? |

I don't think this will fool the countries that are buying the T-bills though. If the conservitives don't pass the balanced budget, we are FUCKED! Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
