10yr Treasury hits record low of 1.68%. Oh wait...S&P downgraded our credit rating!

Where are the idiots at Standard & Poor's today? They should be asked to justify their clueless downgrade of the U.S. credit rating last summer. Remember that? Since then, rates have gone nowhere but down and the 10yr Treasury is making a new, record low yield today.

And while I'm at it, where's Jim Rogers, Peter Schiff, Rick Santelli and all the other clueless morons who've been warning of a spike in interest rates because of debt, rating downgrades, hyperinflation, and a collapsing dollar? Or Geithner, with his dumb comment about the U.S. having to earn back confidence to get a triple-A rating from S&P? What about Bernanke, repeatedly telling Congress that we must get our debt "in order" otherwise, we'll lose control of interest rates.

So, so, wrong.

Some more for the, "file it in the stupid," box

"US Treasury Secretary Geithner says the US has to earn confidence in order to regain the top-notch rating at S&P"

Imagine where rates would be if people HAD confidence!

Geithner is an idiot.
