Greece Update

CNBC reports credit rating firm Standard & Poor's has downgraded the credit rating of Greece from B- to CCC+. S&P states:
Without deep economic reform or further relief, we expect Greece's debt and other financial commitments will be unsustainable.
BTW, "unsustainable" equals default on bond debt. Given current political forces within Greece, S&P believes needed reforms are unlikely to happen.
