Welcome to the Vlogging Pod, where we delve into Moody's recent downgrade of the United States credit rating and its implications for all of us. We begin with the origins of Moody’s, founded by John Moody in 1909, and its rise as a key player in assessing creditworthiness alongside Standard and Poor’s and Fitch ratings.
The downgrade, announced on May 16, 2025, saw the US credit rating drop from AAAA to AA1, prompted by a federal debt exceeding $36 trillion and increasing interest costs projected to hit $1 trillion annually. Political gridlock and insufficient measures to tackle fiscal challenges were also highlighted.
We explore the ramifications, such as potential hikes in borrowing costs impacting consumer loans and the economy at large. The downgrade serves as a wake-up call for political cooperation and fiscal responsibility. Stay informed and engaged as citizens to navigate these challenges.
