Chinese agency downgrades U.S. credit rating

[finnns2003]

Beijing (CNN) -- Although the United States narrowly avoided an unprecedented default following congressional approval of a last-minute compromise plan to raise the debt ceiling, China's leading credit rating agency Wednesday downgraded U.S. sovereign debt after putting it on negative watch last month.

The Dagong Global Credit Rating Company, which lowered the United States to A+ last November after the U.S. Federal Reserve decided to continue loosening its monetary policy, announced a further downgrade to A, indicating heightened doubts over Washington's long-term ability to repay its debts.

They own almost 1.2 trillion dollars in U.S. debt, just maybe the system needs an overhaul.

China's system isn't a real system. There system is one big bubble.

 

[runzombierun]

you mean the system with no EPA standards, pays next to nothing to its workers, rapes their resources and cares nothing about human rights. that system? I guess if we didnt care about that sort of thing we could still be raking in the money too.

And one would assume that china would like to get paid back at some point so what would be the reasoning to lower our credit rating. Oh i dont know

but is that because of their relationship to the US?

America...home of the freely held contradiction. What kind of exclamations can you make on the human rights issues of another country as an American?

No, it's because of Fractional Reserve Banking.

They Do all of that and its has gained them from a second world nation to a world super power in a matter of 2 decades. Their country is economically  powerful so morals or not it seems to be working for them.

 

[runzombierun]

by exploiting their people and resources their government have become a world super power. But their country and the standard of living is closer to a third world country.

Yep, they are very high on the list of global millionaires.

Why is everyone talking about China as if they have no right to dog the U.S. credit rating? Since when should we defend a Moody's or Standard & Poor AAA rating?

 

[rashi]

Moody's and S&P.

They are paid schills for the IMF and World Bank. Don't believe a word of theirs.

It's sad that so many people don't even realize they were giving golden ratings before the mortgage bubble burst. Hmm...

^ CD rates are basically lighting your money on fire. Not keeping up with inflation. Would rather hold gold or another alternative.


Sad that no one is paying attention to what's going on.

What do you mean, bro? They raised the debt ceiling, crisis is over. We're saved.

Move along, nothing to see here! More and more debt is a good thing!

 

[veryanalytical85]

People pay attention. But a lot don't have the financial stability to make major moves at the moment.

I'm definitely one of those folks, but I'm doing what I can one day at a time.

Fake credit rating company.

Physical stockpiling is always nice, but you can also invest in metals by funds. That's all I'll say...
