   I find it very difficult to align much of this with any plausible reality.

   What would a map of MBS bonds across the us have looked like seven years ago? Pretty green eh?

   And who exactly assigns any credibility to Standard and Poor’s ratings? Except the folks paying for the right results of course.

   Thanks for posting this illustrative graph. As an investor, I ponder what colors will present themselves, and where, five-ten years hence.

   I find it interesting that Argentina has a very poor rating, yet their GDP growth in recent years has been around 6-8%, which is 3x-4x higher than the U.S.
