Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she disagrees with the recent move by Moody’s Investors Service’s to shift the U.S. outlook from stable to negative.

“The American economy is fundamentally strong and Treasury securities remain the world’s preeminent safe and liquid asset,” Yellen said Monday following the APEC Finance Ministers’ Meeting in San Francisco.

The Moody’s move is “a decision that I disagree with,” Yellen added.

While the U.S. still has its “AAA” rating from Moody’s, the agency called higher interest rates and the rising debt a risk to America’s fiscal strength.

We will have trillion dollar interest payments soon you stupid hag retard.

sounds like carters malaise/crisis of confidence speech to me.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Send them out to the (Jan 6) cornfield to get their minds right, Janet?

[fhayek]

I disagree with my credit rating too. That does not make my creditors any more or less willing to lend to me at favorable rates.

[EEGator]

It’s a transitory disagreement.

[thegagline]

Is Yellen’s disagreement transitory?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Yeah, right. All is well. Yellen and the Biden Crime Syndicate wouldn’t lie to us.

[SaxxonWoods]

Of course you disagree Janet, you don’t want to take responsibility for helping cause the problem.

[GOPJ]

The economy is strong? Really?

Maybe if you live in some of the wealthiest zip codes in the country - those clustered around Washington DC.

Places where you can own a million dollar home and a beach house while 'earning' less than $200,000 a year.

I got “let go” from a job while I was in high school. I disagreed with that as well. It didn’t get me rehired.

Yellen has just been told she is doing a lousy job. And she will change nothing to adjust her actions.

[Arlis]

Moody’s is independent and objective.

Yellen is a political hack, with tons of personal self-interest in her statement. She has mis-represented the truth in most of her time in her role.

How much more of our inflation will the global market absorb? The natives are restless.

[N. Theknow]

Careful Yellen.

That kind of talk can get you tried for fraud in New York.

[Brilliant]

She’s paying the rich one trillion dollars per year. From our pocket.

[Sacajaweau]

Yeh....Moody doesn’t know how to value things...just like President Trump.

“The American economy is fundamentally strong and Treasury securities remain the world’s preeminent safe and liquid asset,” Yellen said Monday following the APEC Finance Ministers’ Meeting in San Francisco.

Having taken Econ 101 as a freshman in the '60s, I know so much more about the subject than does Ms. Yellen.

[cgbg]

Bernie Madoff had the best credentials of any scammer out there...

lol.

[1Old Pro]

I’m sure she’d disagree with defaulting on our debt, when we default on our debt.

[Revel]

Yellen has no business dealing with the finances of the US.

[Seruzawa]

The choice is between clueless stupidity or purposefully evil destruction. I no longer believe that any of these incompetent fools are simply stupid. They know the harm they cause.
