If the US had a credit score, I wonder what it would be?
- bjourne 5mo agoAA+
- arjie 5mo agoThey're rated AA+/AA- depending on whom. The downgrades to the US's credit rating were big news: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_government_credit-rating_downgrades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_governme...
- koolba 5mo agoAnd also completely meaningless as a credit rating in the context of creditworthiness specifically means the ability to repay. And they can always print dollar bills to do so. Now whether that $1 in 20 years will buy anything is an entirely different story.
- kube-system 5mo agoIt does. Standard & Poor's: AA+ Moody's: Aa1
- KumaBear 5mo agoWell never missed a payment in its lifetime might make it pretty high even with high debt income ratio
- WD-42 5mo agoThis exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_credit_rating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_credit_ra... USA is #18, below Taiwan and Above Qatar. Australia is #1.
- trollbridge 5mo agoAustralia's credit rating is something of a matter of national pride.
- spwa4 5mo agoIt does: S&P: "AA+ with stable outlook" Moody's: "Aa1 stable" DBRS: "AAA stable" In terms of FICO scores this would be ~820 or so. The US won't have any problem any time soon getting some more private sector money. Which is just the tiniest bit worse than Germany, but not much. And it's a lot higher than France.
