The USA just lost their triple A rating from S&P......
Oh oh 
what is S&P
So, while USA is still considered to be good for paying their bills, as far as investment, we just dropped below England, France, & Germany
Why am I not all that surprised?
I guess it is what happens when you hold financial obligations hostage over political ideology
Definitely misguided priorities
Remember that S&P are the same asshats who were giving AAA ratings to the trash mortgages that caused this. I wouldn't put much stock in
what they think.
I don't think the world will.
