Poor Standards. France has lost its top AAA credit rating from Standard and Poor’s and eight other eurozone governments have also been downgraded by the ratings agency. But who are these people with a very discredited history? And now they seem to have the power to destroy millions of peoples lives, hopes and are accountable to no one. Again, they are pure speculators and merchants and are so desperately trying to save the failed capitalist system. So much for democracy!
