Will PMs go up if US get downgraded by Fitch

Will PMs go up if US get downgraded by Fitch-- From http://www.fitchratings.com/creditdesk/press_releases/detail.cfm?print=1&pr_id=767903&cm_sp=USecon-_-research-_-No%20Fiscal%20Honeymoon%20for%20President%20Obama


On current projections, the Treasury Secretary will likely have to implement extraordinary measures by year-end to maintain borrowing capacity under the current debt ceiling of USD16.394trn. Failure yet again to reach agreement on raising the debt ceiling in a timely manner - not Fitch's expectation - would undermine confidence in the United States as a reliable borrower and thus its 'AAA' status, prompting a formal review of the US sovereign rating.

Yes
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...
