McGraw Hill is invested very heavily in the Republican backed NCLB. They sell the textbooks and the standardized tests that the books teach to. They are very tight with the Bush family and Harold McGraw is a Romney supporter. To view them as neutral observers is a mistake even if their conclusion to down-grade is reasonable. Also remember that these are the same birds who gave a AAA rating to mortgage backed securities.

Thank you. I knew McGraw Hill is a text book publisher, but didn't realize that it also publishes the S & P and lives in the Republican's back pockets. Jeez, wheels within wheels.
