Moody’s Signals Potential US Debt Downgrade

Moody’s ratings agency has warned it may downgrade US government debt in 2025, following similar moves by S&P and Fitch who already reduced US ratings from AAA to AA+. Moody’s currently maintains an AAA rating but with a negative outlook since 2023.

The agency is concerned about unchecked federal debt growth (now at 100% of GDP compared to 44% for other AAA-rated nations), rising interest costs, and declining debt affordability.

The situation appears likely to worsen as Congress prepares to pass Trump-backed tax cuts and extensions later this year. The Congressional Budget Office projects debt will reach 119% of GDP in 10 years and 136% in 20 years—and these projections don’t account for the pending tax cuts that could add $4-10 trillion more debt over the next decade.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
