on y lit par ailleurs : S&P vs. the Treasury

The original S&P downgrade contained a USD2trn calculation error. After correcting they chose to downgrade anyway, focusing on the poor political process and the likelihood that debt to GDP keeps rising beyond the middle of the decade. The S&P error and limited re-examination may serve to diminish slightly the credibility of the downgrade in FX markets. Both the casualness of the S&P mistake and the ease with which US policymakers debated deficit changes of several trillion reinforces the perception that a trillion dollars is not what it used to be.
