FILE - In this Sept. 30, 2010 file photo, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. The last time the Federal Reserve came up with a big plan to help the economy, it totaled $600 billion and touched off a 28 percent rally in the stock market. But if the Fed takes any new steps, as many people expect, it wont look anything like that. Look for small ball, not a home run. Operation Twist, as Fed-watchers are already calling it, in a nod to economic history, probably will help the economy and the stock market. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File) (AP)

The credit agency said late Friday, Aug. 5, 2011 that it is making the move because the deficit reduction plan passed by Congress on Tuesday did not go far enough to stabilize the country's debt situation.
