Fitch Kicks The Can Down The Road

J.J. Jackson | November 29, 2011 

Fitch Ratings says the United States can keep it’s AAA rating despite basically an unfathomable 100% debt to GDP ratio. Fitch did hedge its bets saying that its outlook is being downgraded to negative saying that if a deal on real deficit reduction is not reached soon there is a better than 50-50 chance it will drop its rating.

With the decision, Fitch has officially abdicated its duty to give accurate information. Fitch’s job is to downgrade debt before crisis hits. But, like Moody’s they seem content to wait until after crisis strikes to actually make a move. Then they will move to cover their ass and quickly disgrace debt once that debt is more than worthless, but only a couple of notches.

Fitch is just kicking the can down the road hoping that they don’t have to actually do their job.
