- The United States lost its last triple-A credit rating from Moody's due to rising government debt levels.

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.
