The drop from AAA to AA+ remains to be firmly in investment-grade territory, which means the chances of default within the close to time period are nonetheless extraordinarily unlikely, but it surely shouldn’t be ignored.
Debt is downgraded as a result of the borrower is waving pink flags. Within the case of the U.S., we’ve got over $32 trillion in debt and are presently including trillions per yr. Whole annual curiosity funds alone on that a lot debt prices us about $1 trillion—greater than all the Protection funds—and spending retains rising. That may be a recipe for insolvency and eventual default.”
