It's The Economy Stupid: S&P Downgrade

Okay, so S&P acknowledges that when it decided to downgrade U.S. Sovereign debt (Treasuries) they made a TWO TRILLION DOLLAR ($2,000,000,000,000.00) error in their math.  Now, call me crazy, but that’s a stunning number.  So the people who screwed up so badly leading up to the 2008 financial crisis now make the largest mathematical error that I have ever seen.  Doesn’t exactly make you feel all warm and fuzzy about their financial analysis of all the Agencies, Corporates and Municipal bonds that we hold.
