For the first time in its history, Moodys has downgraded the credit rating of the United States from AAA to AA1.

Yes, bc over the long term if you borrow at a lower rate than your rate of growth, it doesn't matter. This is how all wealthy people manage their money. It's how modern nations do, too.

Now, a downgraded rating means the rate that we need to be lower than rate of growth is going to be higher than it was previously, making it less likely we will keep that rate lower than growth rate.
