Moody's rates bonds and other securities ~ it does not rate the world's only super power. They just talk that way to make themselves feel superior.

Same with S&P, and all the other rating services.

For the most part they are simply columns in what amount to business magazines.

You might want to counsel your purchase of a subscription to magazines based on that advice ~ or not ~ but the risk is yours. Not licensed in Wisconsin.
