PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) -- KDKA Radio's Robert Mangino talks with Jayme Meredith, vice president and financial advisor with Hefren-Tillotson and host of Hefren-Tillotson's "Your Money & You."

Mangino asks whether Standard & Poor's downgrading of the United States' credit rating was an economic or a political decision, and discusses with Meredith the impact that the new AA+ rating will have on the American market.

They also discuss what the market freefall means for Main Street, and how the average stockholder will be hit by the Dow's downturn.
