"The analysis stands in stark contrast to what Moody’s found would happen if Republican nominee Donald Trump wins the election. Last month it released an analysis that concluded that his policies would plunge the country back into a recession, cost millions of jobs, fail to improve Americans’ incomes, and increase the deficit by $1 trillion. In response, an adviser to Trump’s campaign released a report saying that the nominee’s plans wouldn’t increase the deficit because he has said they won’t."

Trump's Plan Would Implode the U.S. Economy @alternet:

"This is hardly making America great, as Trump likes to bellow. It is a template to run the federal government like one of his Atlantic City casinos where grandiose plans, other people’s money and vast overpromises collide in a maelstrom where the economic harms still echo.

Moody’s Playing Dangerous Games With Public Pension Funds

Moody’s Playing Dangerous Games With Public Pension Funds
"The bond-rating agency Moody's made itself famous for giving subprime mortgage backed securities triple-A ratings at the peak of the housing bubble. This made it easy for investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to sell these securities all around the world. And it allowed the housing bubble to grow ever bigger and more dangerous.
