The USA AAA is under review at Moody's based on the debt ceiling crisis! Although many economic experts will tell you that the payment of the debt service of the US government would not be affected even if the debt limit is not raised, Moody's took the step of placing the USA AAA under review for possible downgrade. The irony of course is that the ratings service becomes proactive on cre...

While I will of course be supporting Team GB in the Olympics my respect for Team USA has just gone up 100-fold.
