[Snip] Moody's Investors Service recently issued a warning that the government's credit rating could eventually be in jeopardy if nation's finances don't improve. The cost of borrowing would increase significantly if the ratings service lowered the credit rating, also known as a bond rating, for U.S. Treasuries. Geithner tells ABC's "This Week" that will never happen. Associated Press https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2446229/posts#comment Sun, 7 Feb 2010 14:10:05 GMT
