I saw that.

If the past is any guide, I would anticipate rates to start falling soon (followed by a federal government investigation of Moody's).

The incompetence of these ratings agencies is amazing.

Yeah, I know.  I liked his posts on some of this stuff.  Sparked a lot of interesting discussion.

But all monopolies are incompetent!  There should be no surprise.
