D****R 发帖数: 189 | 1 Ratings agency Standard & Poor's has warned there is a one-in-two chance it
could cut the United States' prized triple-A rating if a deal on raising the
government's debt ceiling is not agreed soon.

"Today's CreditWatch placement signals our view that, owing to the dynamics of the political debate on the debt ceiling, there is at least a one-in-two likelihood that we could lower the long-term rating on the U.S. within the next 90 days," the agency said in a statement on Thursday.
The deadline to raise the ceiling is on August 2.
