The United States Debt Rating Versus Wisconsin's Debt Rating
Moody's Corporation Update of the Outlook for the US Government Debt Rating explains budget negotiations during the 2013 Congressional session will determine the United States’ credit rating. If negotiations fail, the United States Credit Rating could worsen. If Congress sets forth specific policies that stabilize and slow the growth of the federal debt, the US Credit rating would remain the same.

During 2011 Moody’s gave Wisconsin’s 2011-13 budget a credit positive rating. Balancing the budget and eliminating the deficit leads to not only a positive credit rating, it leads to positive changes for our state.
