S&P upgrades Florida's credit rating

By Matt Augustine
 

While the United States credit rating with Standard & Poor's may have been downgraded recently, Florida's credit outlook has been revised from negative to stable.

But, but, but Scott is a Republican who can supposedly do nothing right since he's not a dimbo.

hmmm... state ratings...
if the US was downgraded by S&P because of the political debt ceiling fiasco and not because the US cant repay its debt....
i wonder why MN hasn't been downgraded by S&P. Fitch and moody's already have them downgraded. but not S&P. MN is the only state who's political budget fiasco shutdown the govt, for 3 weeks. the longest state shutdown in modern history.

i see many parallels between MN's budget issue and the US's debt issue. Except S&P's response.


Minnesota continues to maintain a AAA rating with Standard & Poor’s (http://minnesotabudgetbites.org/2011/08/10/short-term-budget-solutions-are-leading-to-credit-rating-problems-for-minnesota/)
