Well there are 7 levels of A rating. The US certainly doesn't deserve to the top most tier since there is active discussion of default. No I don't think it actually would but what is the point of these ratings if they are being used like this?

The is no legitimate discussion of the US defaulting, just political demagoguery. Greece, on the other hand...
