It's bad when Standard & Poor can bring down markets with their silly ratings of a country's ability to pay a debt they never defaulted on. There should be laws against this.


There's obviously a lot I don't understand about the national debt and debt default.

The U.S. Debt Clock says our National Debt is $14,587,715,000,000+ and rising by the minute.

It has never been paid and will never be paid. What would this debt do to YOUR credit rating?
