Microsoft Has a Higher Credit Rating than the US Government
|This is getting ridiculous to the extreme. First it was Apple has more money in cash reserves than the U.S. and now Microsoft has a better credit rating. Things are going to hell in a hand basket when the entire US government is being upstaged by the tech world. Microsoft is the only tech company in the U.S. with a AAA rating along with only three other non-tech companies achieving that distinction.
The US used to have a whopping 60 companies that had a AAA rating. In 1995 that number went down to about 30 or so. Today, just four US corporation have a AAA credit rating and one of them happens to be Microsoft.
