Not sure how proactive the 'big' rating agencies are going to be with Egan-Jones being "made an example of."

They can't stop because they've trapped themselves in their own web. If they stop spending *anything*, it could all go boom. Of course, it's going to go boom anyway, but maybe not until after "they" themselves are no longer interested in being there, then it's the next guy's fault.

Besides, they know their constituents will fire them for doing the right thing. On the whole, 'we' are getting what we deserve.
