Investors, November 17th is upon us, the day after which we may once again see a governmental shutdown in the US.

I've been scouring the webs and this news is not today's news, but it already appeared on November 10, anyway I didn't see any mention of it here so I want to bring it up. The ratings agency has affirmed the US long term unsecured rating at Aaa from the previous AA+. This happened in August. But now Moody's Investors Service on Friday downgraded the outlook on the U.S. government's credit rating to negative from stable, pointing to growing risks to the country's fiscal strength.

For now, the government is funded until November 17, but lawmakers in Washington are still squabbling over the bill ahead of the deadline. Newly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson (R-La.) has indicated he will release a plan to fund the Republican-led government on Saturday. His plan is to fund certain parts of the government through Dec. 7 and other parts through Jan. 19.

Ja's perception of this situation, because there's been quite a bit of talk about it. Yes, it's a fact that probably not enough people are taking it into account anymore because as it is it's still going to get pushed back and the debt is going to get deeper, however, isn't that too much? 🤔
