Is there a specific meaning behind an S&P credit rating?

Asked by LostInParadise (31923points) August 6th, 2011

Standard and Poor just downgraded the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+. If I buy a U.S. saving bond, what does that mean? Is there a specific probability of not being paid attached to a credit rating?
