It&#x27;s be better to fix the laws and regulations that treat the rating agencies&#x27; opinions as true facts about the riskiness of assets (e.g. SMMEA, 7 CFR 240.15c3-1, Basel III, many many etc.) than to apply a band-aid patch at the rating agency level. I&#x27;m not even sure the government could legally put in such a requirement as the rating agencies have asserted in litigation that their output is protected speech.
