Via Senator Bernie Sanders on S&P downgrade:


I find it interesting to see S&P so vigilant today in downgrading the US credit rating. 

Where were they 4 years ago when they, and other credit rating agencies, helped cause this horrendous recession by providing AAA ratings to worthless sub-prime mortgage securities on behalf of Wall Street investment firms? 

Where were they last December when Congress and the White House drove up the national debt by $700 billion by extending Bush's tax breaks for the rich?
