S&P, I Don't Get It
Okay. I understand that our finances are a mess and our political system is broken. We just missed a good chance to improve things significantly, and we chose, instead, to improve things marginally. Several times, our leaders snatched defeat from victory. Neither side could say yes. Yet, they did the minimum and avoided default.

Breaking News: S&P Downgrades United States

Posted: 05 Aug 2011 05:55 PM PDT

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Standard & Poors has just downgraded the credit rating of the United States from a AAA rating.
This is a HUUUUGE story. What do I see as the implications?
1. Short term lending markets will get tighter and activity will likely decline as the quality of what had been the highest quality collateral, US Treasury debt, is now downgraded.  These short term markets are the liquidity in our financial markets' engine.
