Some investors' views:

    - Warren Buffet in an interview Saturday ... "I don't get it ... in Omaha, the US is still triple-A. In fact, if there were a quadruple-A rating, I'd give the US that ... their (S&P) decision doesn't tempt me to sell. We'll stay right there ... the US, to my knowledge, owes no money in currency other than the US dollar, which it can print at will. Now if you're talking about inflation, that's a different question"   

   - Peter Fisher (Blackrock) ... “the odds are very high that there would be knock-on consequences of other borrowers getting downgraded – both corporate and public, in the US and overseas ... what really ends up happening is a downward shift of the entire spectrum of fixed-income securities ... (broader downgrades) would be a signal to all types of investors to re-examine their risk appetite.”   

After S&P downgraded the credit-rating, there are many criticisms on it. Some argue that  it's a political problem rather than an ability issue, some suspect it results from S&P's false positives. I think it shows the universal  ordinary Americans' concerns. From the perspective of patriotism, no native citizens like to see such an outcome.
On the other hand, if we use the principle of "substance over form" here, which is a material principle in accounting, we can easily make the decision to downgrade the US credit-rating. There is a bench mark when concerning ratings, when numbers deviate from that bench mark significantly, and we cannot say everything is on the correct road. The deviation should be reflected in some measurable indicators. If not, there will always be excuses, and the set indicators will become unconvincing.
