- The United States lost its last triple-A credit rating from Moody's due to rising government debt levels.
- Moody's forecasts that federal deficits may rise to nearly nine percent of GDP by 2035, driven by increased interest payments and rising entitlement spending.
- The downgrade reflects similar actions by other rating agencies and underscores the failure of US administrations to address fiscal deficits.
- Despite these challenges, the US retains a stable credit outlook due to its economic strength and the US dollar's status as a global reserve currency.
The Moody's downgrade is a strong reminder that our nation's fiscal house is not in order.— Republican Congressman French Hill, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee, commented on the Moody's downgrade.
