    Since it was Mitt the Twit's Tea Party buddies that caused us to lose a triple A rating, then I sure can't have any confidence that he will raise it. Anyway Romneyhood is for a larger debts, with his promised give aways to the wealthy, and his promise to start another war. He will put all that on the tax payers credit card just like Jr. did.

    Romney's plan is to do what George W. Bush did, only on steroids. He'll get teh same economically disastrous results, only far worse.

    Since Michele Bachmann lost it, it would help most if she lost.

    Because no matter how you slice it...he knows how, and is willing to make the tough choices to fix BIG MONEY problems....

    IT IS WHAT HE DOES.

    Romney was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 2002 but did not seek re-election in 2006. During his term HE PRESIDED over the ELIMINATION of a projected $3 BILLION DEFICIT.

    NOBODY mentions that he did (of course) receive an inheritance when his father passed away....BUT DONATED ALL of it...quote "In this case I gave it to a school which Brigham Young University established in his (his fathers) honor. ... And that’s where his inheritance ended up."

    NOBODY mentions that when he was brought on to the 2002 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, that at the time the venue was almost $380 million IN THE HOLE.

    He had to ensure the safety of the Games following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and coordinatied a $300 million security budget.

    He oversaw a $1.32 BILLION (with a B) dollar budget, 700 employees, and 26,000 volunteers..., (only slightly larger than ACORN...I know)

    The 2002 Olympiad ended up CLEARING a PROFIT of $100 million.

    AGAIN.., HE PERSONALLY contributed $1 million to the Olympics, and HE DONATED to charity the $1.4 million in salary and severance payments he received for his three years as president and CEO.

    Romney should put Ron...

    Romney should put Ron Paul in Bernanke's chair...and let him AUDIT the FED...and either fix it...or eliminate it.

    What a 'moron' as he is being labeled by the progressives..
    right now we need more 'morons' like this...

    and less 'community organizers'.

    The odds favor Romney to get us back to AAA. And based on his past performances Obama's a sure bet to lower us to A+. (What are the odds we'll see THAT grade anywhere in his sealed school records? LOL)

    Only the American people can restore our country's credit rating. We must stand up and take responsibility for our government. Blaming the Democrats, Republicans, Obama. Bush, etc. will not make this country better. Each of us must do our job with diligence ... voting wisely, performing our assigned tasks at work and home to the best of our ability, helping our neighbors, avoiding sloth and waste, and most importantly investing in the future...striving to build a better America and a better world.

    Romney will destroy our credit and our economy. If you look back as far as Kennedy, the deficit has gone down with every Democratic President and gone up with every Republican President.

    We currently have a projected deficit of 1.33 trillion under a Democrat president. Name me a Republican president who ever ran a deficit that high.

    I don't know if he can get it done in four years but Romney has a better chance than the big O. Four more years of the big O and we're toast, we're Greece, Spain, whatever small third-world country, and we may never be able to come back afterward.

    Ron Paul and if he's not on the ballot, former Governor Gary Johnson. If the candidate intends to exercise powers not delegated to him/her by the Constitution as President, then they will add to the problem, not fix it. Romney may know how to play the broken system, but not how to fix it, and it's clear Obama knows very little of anything beyond what his handlers tell him.

    This is too easy.
    Not that I really care about Moody's & co, but Romney would outsource more jobs, and raise unemployment in America. More bubbles waiting to burst, commercial property, student loans etc. But Romney is only interested in cutting taxes paid by the rich - especially since the government of the Cayman Islands has just decided to tax foreigners.

    Leftover Bush raised unemployment to 10% in the first 4 months after the president's inauguration, numbskull. Now it is 8.3% thanks to saving 1 million jobs, and adding 2 million private sector jobs. Bush was losing 750,000 jobs monthly during his lame duck last 3 months in office. The Romney/Ryan plans will add 4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. Ryan, now Mr. Conservative, voted for all Bush's spending for TARP, the Irag War. Medicare D, and the Bush tax cuts which ballooned the defit to 3 trillion. Republicans don t care about deficits

    America is where it is at because that is where both parties intentionally put it.

    Nothing is getting fixed because neither party has any intention of fixing anything.

    The credit rating game is a flawed process.

    People and countries can't be statistically analyzed like dice, they are learning and dynamic systems where past behaviour is no indication of future performance.

    More often than not their ratings cause a procyclic (self fulfilling prediction) process to occur as goalposts keep moving.

    For example: an individual, company or government receive the same figures as the CRA on the same day. Both start their analyses and complete them at the same time. The individual, company or government make budgetary changes in order to make a "course correction" of their financial woes, at the same time the CRA issues a report and downgrades their credit rating. This has the effect of increasing the interest rate on the candidate and renders the budget they have just completed useless.

    This culminates in a downward spiral where the borrower starts chasing their tales trying to get ahead of the curve in an attempt to beat the interest rates, which even for a country can rise as high as 27%...

    It is a dirty little rabbit hole....
