Finally somebody get's it! Yes, you are correct. Shit, they gave Lehmann triple AAA rating until the day they failed, same with Enron. The are NOT a disinterested party in all of this, let alone a neutral agency of some kind. Good vid... you're on a roll lately, Louie!
Again...Zion at work!! I know it gets old...but the truth.......Our only hope is that Pakistan will nuke India and create a market for war technology.....It sux but Garmonbozia (Google it) levels the the Karmic playing field !!
@atchisrj1 yeah, the free market decided that subprime loans were rated as awesome, legitimate, and just plain trustworthy. big bad government sat on the sidelines for that. they weren't the referees. big bad government just let the private sector determine what's best. the nanny state wasn't the nanny. they let the high rollers play with our money. we trust in S&P!

@atchisrj1 the PUBLIC Central bank or the PRIVATE Central Bank? a private bank's loans are based on ratings from a private corporation. the PRIVATE Central bank, the deregulation of government involvement, the ratings agency and the private bank, the private Central bank all feed off each other to justify that everything is just fine. government officials CANNOT get in trouble, because they are not involved. the Public employees are all ex-PRIVATE bankers with their hands tied due to deregulati
@LouieArrighi It's a private central bank the Federal Reserve is. And that is the problem, before the Congress handed off their responsibility to this private bank on monetary policy we did not have this problem with corporations and inflation like today. Fractional reserve banking is a corrupt system feed by the Federal Reserve. Reserve Banking is one of the biggest causes of the bubbles and crashes. S&P feeds off of this system.

That in there lays the problem. Not the free market but the Federal government surrendering it's power to control monetary policy to that of bankers. S&P is part of the Corporatist problem not a manifestation of a Free Market.
@atchisrj1 Do you really think that Standard & Poor's downgrade of U.S. debt would have occurred unless there had been the Congressional stand-off on raising the debt ceiling? So there is one other lesson to be learned here.
If S&P really has that much influence,Free-Financial Markets are hardly efficient at all- note its enormous arithmetic mistake of $2 trillion — by S&P!The credit ratings agencies gave Enron a high rating before it became the biggest bankruptcy of all time.Wake up!
I've been thinking the same thing, It's Amazing how we as Private citizens have our whole life..(Credit) and finiancial wise controlled by the reporting of Private companies...And now we have the entire Obama administration telling the World to Ignore what S & P has to say about our nations credit...So what is the difference?...I Ask..
For the first time in History our "Credit Rating" has been reduced....And their point is what?.....Here's an Idea...END ALL AID and use that money for us!!!!
@TheMidnightRider11 Hell Yeah Charlie! I agree with that. I also believe we should put all welfare recipients to work, just as Guiliani did in NYC while their kids are in school, or even have them watch other kids. there are a lot of possibilities on that. I do agree with the Welfare to Work Program. not sure whatever became of that though.
I also believe borrowers need to put 20% down on a property if they plan on purchasing. I think that would be great for our economy.
@LouieArrighi I don't agree with welfare to work because from the way I heard about it it sounded more like the governments paying people to do jobs for private businesses saving them money.
Maybe that was just one welfare to work program but it sounded more like a scam for corps to get govt cash.
@LouieArrighi The Welfare to Work program was a sham. Sure, it got people off welfare, but you cannot support a family, nor even live on your own, on minimum wage jobs without health insurance or other benefits. What happened was that corps like Walmart hired those former recipients at sub-standard wages, often part-time, and now 1 out of 6 Americans are on food stamps. So, the entire 'program' made a bad situation even worse.

Standards and Poors rated CDOs, derivatives etc as AAA for bribe money...is this how they pay us back for not sending them all to prison?
They think they can dictate economic policy? Put them against a wall and open fire.
