We're F'd | *Yikes* MASSIVE DOWNGRADE, Debt Crisis, and Gov't SHUTDOWN!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
oh boy buckle up for the next week and
coupon expiration tonight but buckle up
for this because Moody's just downgraded
us they warned this might happen on
September 25th saying that while quote
Debt Service payments would not be
impacted and a short-lived government
shutdown would be unlikely to affect or
disrupt the economy it would underscore
the weakness of us institutional and
governance strength relative to other
AAA rated Nations no bueno here this is
a big slap in the face to America coming
right ahead of a budget negotiation
which I'll give you updates on in this
video boy oh boy this is not looking
good here's the Scoop from Moody so
Moody's today turned from neutral on the
United States government and economy to
negative they're citing National fiscal
strength in plain English Moody's is
like
this yo everyone listen up the
government printed too much money they
spent way too much money they got lots
of debts that got to be paid off we
don't think Congress is going to be
capable of doing anything until
2025 and over the next year somebody's
going to have to pay for these higher
interest rate debts because as your
treasuries roll over guess what the
government's got to pay more money in
debt and as they pay more money More
Money More Problems more bills more
problems more like it but anyway that's
quite literally the translation of what
they said more formally an analyst from
Moody's who was interviewed just seconds
ago it just came across the tape here
said
quote the recent bond selloff in the
treasury market that is bonds falling
yields going up did not impact the
decision instead the expectation that
the government's going to have to
support higher debt payments because of
higher rates next year are what impacted
the decision Plus polariz around the
budget making process they think
basically Congress is going to be
dysfunctional and very extreme until the
election and since nothing actually
changes at the election because you have
to get through the lame duck session
through November and December guess what
you have to wait until January
2025 before you actually expect anything
gets done and because they think our
debt is so extreme and affordability is
so extreme right now they are
downgrading us for at least they say the
next 18 to 24 months now in practice
because this just occurred postmarket
here we can see some of the Market's
reaction relatively muted in post uh
postmarket trading hours uh but uh
treasury yields did pop a little bit on
this I think the big question will be
how Treasures move going into Monday as
people digest this and as we get our
budget from Mike Johnson so remember
Mike Johnson just became the Speaker of
the House the last dude who offered a
clean funding resolution to fund the
government got fired yeah that was
McCarthy okay so now we have Mr Mike
Johnson no plan yet though we expect to
hear a plan release from n Mike Johnson
either today or tomorrow and since today
is basically well it's already like you
know 7: p.m. eastern time probably
tomorrow Mike Johnson so far says he is
less interested in focusing on
impeaching Joe Biden however we do have
just one week less left to focus on this
budget resolution uh there are a lot of
people that are somewhat frustrated
about Johnson that he's not focused on
impeaching Biden others say he's just
focused on getting this budget done
first and then quite frankly we can
worry about the elections next year
there are three options and right now
Mike Johnson's plan is to have something
to vote on by Wednesday of next week so
a plan revealed this weekend people can
read it or they probably won't and then
it could be voted on Wednesday there are
three options they could go with a stop
Gap bill which is basically just kick
the can down the road to some
predetermined date they can go with
option number two which is throwing in a
stop got bill which is kicking the can
down the road and then throwing in some
sweeteners for things they want like
border security that doesn't have
bipartisan support option number one
does have bipartisan support and option
number three would be kind of splitting
the government's funding up into what
they're calling a laded approach which
is like we'll fund this but not that
it's kind of a way to try to negotiate
with the Dems uh keep this in mind that
Joe Biden is requesting 106 billion
dollar for aid for Taiwan Israel and
Ukraine Republicans have said we'll give
you not6 billion how about $14 billion
to Israel and then we're also going to
cut funding to the
IRS so that's where we stand right now
in a situation where financial
institutions are going y'all freak
idiots are just costing yourself more
money we are going to downgrade you for
that and at the same time you got people
on the left going we need to send more
money and then you got people on the
right who say we also need to send more
money but we want to send it our way and
we're going to debate about it then you
have other people on the right who say
stop sending more money then you have
other people on the left who are like no
send even more money it's just a
disaster we have no idea what's going to
happen but let's buckle up because this
is the kind of uncertainty that leads
the stock market to pull back however
and historically we usually tend to get
through these periods of uncertainty and
they tend to be nothing other than
buying opportunities but then again
buying opportunities are only good to
the extent that you actually have money
to buy stuff with and if you do find
that you have an extra under $100 check
