European Credit Agency Downgrades US Credit Rating from AAA to AA

``"The U.S. government has fought the effects of the financial market crisis primarily by an increase in government debt. We do not see thank that there is sufficient attention being paid to other measures, "said Dr. Tobias Schmidt, CEO of Feri Rating & Research AG €. "Our rating system shows a deterioration in economic health, so the downgrading of the credit ratings of U.S. is warranted."''
