America has officially lost its final AAA credit rating

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : "Republicans MUST UNITE behind, 'THE ONE, BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL!'," wrote Trump in a post on Truth Social.
56% : While the bill is popular among many eager for additional tax relief, some GOP members have blocked the bill, hoping for steeper cost cuts to offset the tax breaks.
50% : The tax proposals could boost long-run GDP by 0.6% but reduce federal tax revenue by $4.1 trillion from 2025 through 2034, according to the non-partisan Tax Foundation.
49% : Nevertheless, the downgrade reflects growing concern that sky high deficits and government spending will put upward pressure on Treasury yields, forcing rates on everything from credit cards to mortgages higher over time.
49% : In the crosshairs is Medicaid, which is already the subject of cost-cutting in the bill.
48% : The move comes amid ongoing challenges associated with mounting U.S. debt and little signs of significant debt reduction in Congress, despite recent actions from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
