It was S&P that had Lehman Brothers rated AAA just a month before they went bankrupt. It was S&P that rated AIG’s credit default swaps as rock solid investment's the weekend before they went bankrupt so I kind of think that does not lend to their credibility - but you are getting your threads mixed up.

This thread is about bringing religion into the political arena. The Teabaggers (those that hang teabags on their hats) are indeed the reason that we find ourselves in this situation. The US would never default on it's debt - we control the printing presses it was simply a political move by those that confuse oversight with politics.
