Drudge tweet at top of the page.

“Citigroup joins Bank of America, Wells Fargo in Moody’s downgrades. Agency cites concerns about U.S. government support of the banks.”

More willing...I doubt that. It is just that governments are no longer in a position where it is even possible for them to keep the rickety ships afloat. They’ve already used all their ammo.

It was covered at the buildaburger meeting when Perry, a Moody’s exec, and the BofA VP got together in a white room where the sun never shines. They determined that Perry would rise up on the last vestiges of BofA capital to create the NWO, then BofA would be downgraded in order to diminish the linky between BofA, Perry, Moody’s, and the mascot of the New Jersey hockey team.

“Agency cites concerns about U.S. government support of the banks.”

According to "Reckless Endangerment", the ratings agencies used that "We'll downgrade" if the government tightened its controls (regulators) and/or pulled its backing from pre-2006 Fannie and Freddie. The politicians folded.
