"Governance is a weakness relative to the 'AAA' median, and the future direction of the rating is sensitive to the direction it takes. The failure of the former president to concede the election and the events surrounding the certification of the results of the presidential election in Congress in January, have no recent parallels in other very highly rated sovereigns. The redrafting of election laws in some states could weaken the political system, increasing divergence between votes cast and party representation. These developments underline an ongoing risk of lack of bipartisanship and difficulty in formulating policy and passing laws in Congress."
@eladar saidSo it has nothing to do with the guy who's been president for four years, it's gotta be new guy who started 5 months ago.
After Obama won, everything was GW's fault. Now that Biden is in everything is Trumps fault.
I suppose stupid people are unable to see this pattern and believe the propaganda.
Thanks for that.

A disputed election could cost the U.S. its ‘AAA’ credit rating
And that's a warning from last year.

Trump's tax cuts may pressure U.S.'s top credit rating: Fitch
And that's from four years ago.
It's been know for some time that Trump's policies and actions could harm the U.S. credit rating; this wasn't made up on the spot in order shift blame.
@phranny saidAs I said, always blame Trump.
@Eladar
Fitch clearly states it is downgrading US government bonds due to "the former president", Trump, refusing to concede the election and the GOP efforts to restrict voting.
The US downgrade is a result of ever growing financial debt with no hope of ever repaying it.
If we could pay off the debt, then we would have a better rating.

28.5 trillion and growing every second.

You got THAT right. TRUMP IS TO BLAME for almost EVERYTHING bad that happened in the past 4 years.
The next time he is POTUS, if that dread day ever happens, that day will be the end of US democracy.
I am QUITE SURE you are too stupid to even CONSIDER the idea that our democracy is on slippery ground RIGHT NOW because of the hundreds of bills SPECIFICALLY designed AND ADMITTED TO THE SUPREME COURT they cannot win unless they (republicans) cheat.
I am also quite sure YOU never heard THAT charge because you ONLY watch Newsmax and Fox. They would NEVER say anything negative about SCOTUS OR TRUMP.
You should be happy Moscow Mitch got SCOTUS tilted to the right and the recent case about Georgia where SCOTUS agreed it is ok for states to make voter suppression laws effecting millions of what WERE eligible voters.
That is ALL republicans want, they are to STUPID LAZY to actually govern, that is the LAST thing they want, actual governing, watching out for the people, keeping big corps from screwing over the little folks, like now it is ok to dump toxins into streams and rivers since Trump KILLED the EPA and the science unit of the USDA, you probably didn't hear about THAT fiasco either have you?

Well IDIOTS like you LOVE criminals as president, you get to do more grift that way. Go ahead, totally ignore the FACT JACK that Trump is in legal trouble big time and I cannot wait for the day that SOB gets carted out in handcuffs along with his criminal family.
But you LOVE criminals so it makes sense you will follow Trump to the grave.
Here is a hint: Moscow Mitch has turned away from Trump now, so 2024 is a pipe dream for your former corrupter in chief, Trump, your EX god king.
