Moody’s Drops BOMBSHELL | Downgrades US Credit Rating Citing Debt Crisis And… | Washington

Moody’s has downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, citing a worsening debt trajectory and political paralysis in Washington.

The move follows similar downgrades by Standard & Poor’s in 2011 and Fitch in 2023.

Moody’s warned that deficits could reach 9% of GDP by 2035, driven by interest payments and rising entitlement costs.

Efforts to curb spending failed as Republicans and Democrats remain divided.

The agency also flagged Trump-era tax cuts as a $4 trillion threat to fiscal health if extended, further straining the federal deficit outlook.
