So, they sold it to themselves? Give me a fucking break, also, it ain't moved anywhere ... it's still in the same vault. If anything ever did change, then maybe, just maybe there is a newer signature on the lease hold note. ... morans. |

Does it really help the world's stagnant economy to issue these ratings? I suppose the little guy gets screwed no matter what. |

I mean, they're not like personal financial advisers, & sure, they do a lot of analysis to make their decisions, but is it really beneficial for a struggling country to pay more interest on liquidity loans just because a bunch of pen-pushers say the country or state are doing things tough?

They might be bullshit, but ratings have a very material effect on the Interest Rates demanded by foreigners in order to buy rhe debt. The higher IR's can send a country over the edge quickly, e.g. Greece. The fact that ratings are altered at opportune moments and there is conflict-of-interest between the ratings companies and the issuers (ratings companies paid by issuers to provide ratings) is by-the-by.. we live in a bullshit manipulated world. |

Thus we only have to find buyers for new issuance, until that rollover gradually catches up.

Unfortunately the UK finances have now reached such a stage that it's obvious to all and sundry that the conservatives weren't really planning to reign in the spending spree that labour took us on, the tories managed to play a game of smoke and mirrors for a few years, hoping that growth and inflation will offset debt, but even banana republic economics wasn't enough.
