BREAKING! The US just lost our AAA credit rating. Thanks Donald and the Republican Party.

Moody's just downgraded the United States. They were the last holdout of the big three rating agencies.

Dust bowl and US credit downgraded on the same day. Does this sound familiar?

maurscode.bsky.social•14 days ago

Downgrade Donnie.

lngnstrt.bsky.social•14 days ago

Perfect timing for Republicans to renew their corporate tax breaks which will add trillions to the debt.

Saw this coming.

So now debt service just got more expensive.

How much will rates change and how much more will be paid to sell treasury bills?

dar701.bsky.social•14 days ago

So, what does this do immediately to the national debt? I’m guessing it’s not pretty.

globalnomaddc.bsky.social•14 days ago

Higher interest rates on US debt

dar701.bsky.social•14 days ago

Which adds to the debt.

It’s Biden’s fault

@jennifertaub.com will credit card interest rate go up?

silval-dad.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes. By basis points, so will impact many Americans. Worse will be the loosening of regulations on the credit card companies raising rates by multiple points.

Great job Donald. What a Chump.

I don’t want to hear a single reporter or Republicans criticize Joe Biden again.

The Trump economy is in exponential decay at this point. And we are all along for the ride like hostages.

Moody’s wasn’t convinced that making a king out of serially bankrupt conman was promising? Go figure.

charlessumner-rino.bsky.social•14 days ago

It’s probably Biden’s fault - trump is always passing the buck, and Dems always seem ready to self flagellate for even the flimsiest of reasons.

silval-dad.bsky.social•11 days ago

@robert.reich, what the impact of the Moody’s downgrade on rates and in dollars required to service the debt?

silval-dad.bsky.social•11 days ago

@jen, can you get one of your economist friends to estimate the impact on rates and incremental cost to issue new federal debt?

idontthinksomate.bsky.social•14 days ago

Queue the post from First Felon that he doesn’t know Moody and has never met her but he thinks she’s now ugly and he would never date her.

This is huge and could have huge impact.

He’s such an embarrassment.

The DJT Economy

Sad. Unfair. It's not their fault. It has to be somebody else's fault....

Oh they control the house. The senate. And the president. Oh, and they don't even kick the can down the road?

Yeah, but let's look for somebody else to blame....
