    Countries with AAA credit ratings

    Denmark
    Finland
    France
    Germany
    Guernsey
    Hong Kong
    Isle of Man
    Liechtenstein
    Luxembourg
    Netherlands
    Norway
    Singapore

    Funny how we have so many posters that like to bash Canada, which has a far better economy than the USA.

    So EH, what have you actually done lately to help? Or are you more content to just bitch about the way things are? Such a miserable person. Think about it - you're going to die anyway. So why not make your time here cheerful? It's a much better life than always exuding such negativity.

    I thought we were all concerned about China and them "owning" us. Where are they on that list?

    Yeah lets bury our head in the sand and think that never ending wars, shitty economy, 9.2% unemployment, credit downgrades are good things.

    The US now has the same rating as China. The other two rating agencies still have the US at triple A, with warnings. The wild swings in the market on Friday were due to the rumors regarding the coming downgrade of the US.

    Could be beginning of the end for US. The US has always been regarded as western world leader and economic center. Now the companies are global so if the american companies are doing well it will not save the US. Just food for thought.

    Canada was downgraded in 1994 and in 1997 they were upgraded back to AAA. If the will is there, the US will get there again. It will get better Jan 20, 2013 or earlier let's hope.

    The islands of Guernsey lie in the bay of St Malo in the English Channel, about 30 miles from the north coast of France and 70 miles from the south coast of England.

    You've never been?
