For the first time in the history of the credit rating, the country has to face a drop in the Standard and Poor's (S&P) credit rating from AAA to AA+ in August 2011. Such a downfall has increased concerns of the agency about the nation's ability to balance its debt. This made the Obama administration to raise its stocks. It was not a surprise to others because the agency had already warned about the credit downgrading if the government didn't take possible measures.
