China Reduced the Sovereign Rating of the United States to the Level of Turkmenistan

[Alexandre Fedorovski]

The national rating agency of China Dagong Global Credit Rating Co. on Tuesday lowered the sovereign credit ratings of the United States.

Referring to the growing dependence of the US government on attracting debt, Dagong dropped the US solvency rating for loans in national and foreign currencies by one more step - from "A-" to "BBB +" and left a "negative" outlook in place.

According to Reuters the Chinese agency estimates the economies of Peru, Colombia and Turkmenistan at the same level.

The US economic development model, based on a chronic increase in public debt, is gradually undermining the creditworthiness of the US government, Dagong believes. A new blow, according to the agency, will be a tax reduction plan proposed by the administration of Donald Trump.

Over the past 10 years, the volume of US public debt has more than doubled, and at the end of 2017, it exceeded $ 20 trillion for the first time. Of these, however, 6 trillion is an intergovernmental debt that takes into account Washington's obligations to numerous departments and state structures; The market debt, consisting of circulating securities on the market, is only $ 14 trillion.

The budget committee of the Congress forcast says that in the next 10 years, the US government's spending on loan servicing will quadruple: if current interest payments are $ 269 billion a year, or 8.1% of budget revenues, by 2027 it will be already 818 billion dollars, or 16% of all government's incomes...

Yes, the situation is not good over there, too. The budget deficit in China in 2016 was almost 4% of GDP, far exceeding the target. The increase in government spending did not help to overcome the slowdown in economic growth - it was the smallest in the last quarter of a century. This year, the situation may be even worse: analysts predict a "default storm," and the administration of Donald Trump can begin to impose protectionist measures against China.

The reduce in the growth rate of world trade will continue to have a serious negative impact on the Chinese economy .

For China, the main threat now is President Donald Trump. During the election campaign he promised to protect America from the domination of cheap Chinese goods and to return industrial enterprises to the country.

Citi analysts believe that this may not be an empty threat, and the US will indeed introduce protectionist measures in those sectors where the US has a very strong trade deficit, or in those where the representation of public-private companies is strong.

DRIVING AFTER DRINKING DEATHS in the USA
Driving after drinking is deadly. Yet it still continues to happen across the United States. If you drive while impaired, you could get arrested, or worse—be involved in a traffic crash that causes serious injury or death.

Approximately one-third of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involve drunk drivers (with blood alcohol concentrations [BACs] of .08 of higher). In 2016, there were 10,497 people killed in these preventable crashes. In fact, on average over the 10-year period from 2006-2016, more than 10,000 people died every year in drunk-driving crashes.

In every State, it’s illegal to drive with a BAC of .08 or higher, yet one person was killed in a drunk-driving crash every 50 minutes in the United States in 2016.

Men are more likely than women to be driving drunk in fatal crashes. In 2016, 21 percent of males were drunk in these crashes, compared to 14 percent for females.
