无论债务谈判结局如何,基本可以断定 S&P 会调降美国的信用评级了。
John Chambers, the chairman of Standard & Poor’s sovereign-ratings
committee, said Thursday that the fight over whether to raise the U.S.
government’s debt ceiling had been “even more acrimonious than we had
thought and even more detrimental, as a signaling device, to U.S. credit
standing than we had thought.”
Mainly, he seemed to stick by the agency’s suggestion that a $4 trillion target long-term deficit reduction plan would be necessary for the US to keep its AAA rating.
“The $4 trillion, depending on whether it’s front-loaded or back-loaded, won’t do the trick in terms of stabilizing the US debt/GDP ratio,” he said, “but it takes you far along, and a grand bargain of that nature would signal the seriousness of policy makers.
“$4 trillion would be a good down payment,” he added. “We thought that if policy makers could deliver the goods, it would be a very strong sign.”
When asked about what he would consider a credible deficit-reduction plan, he again emphasized that size mattered.
“You need an amount [of reduction] that will move the needle, and you need bipartisan support so you don’t think it will be undone,” he said.
