The United States AAA credit rating was downgraded for the first time by Standard & Poors, claiming the nation’s political process is broken and criticizing lawmakers for failing to cut spending enough to reduce record budget deficits.
Not only did they lower the credit rating to AA+, the outlook is still considered “negative” as it becomes less confident the U.S. will end Bush-era tax cuts or tackle entitlements. If spending reductions are lower than agreed to, interest rates rise, or new fiscal pressures result in more government debt, the rating may be cut to AA.

Obama has completely backed off his demand for new revenue in the deal that passed the House a few days ago to raise the debt ceiling and cut the deficit. Several lawmakers have said they don’t know whether he can be counted on to stand firm on raising taxes on the wealthy and protecting programs such as Medicare.
