Yost Weighs In On S&P Downgrade RhinoTimes.com Greensboro

For the first time ever, the United States lost its perfect credit rating as Standard & Poor's reduced its U.S. long-term debt assessment from AAA to AA+ with a negative outlook.

In announcing the move late Friday, the ratings agency said a deal this week to reduce the nation's debt did not go far enough and exposed paralyzing political dysfunction.

The downgrade could cost the government and ordinary consumers billions of dollars by jacking up interest rates the U.S. must pay on its $14.4 trillion debt and a host of rates consumers pay for items such as mortgages, car loans and credit cards.

I don't usually hold interventions because I don't think I'd like it if anyone ever held one for me; however, in life, sometimes, you're simply left with no choice.

In some cases, holding an intervention for someone is essentially a call to duty whether you want to do it or not. And that's the way it is when it comes to the fact that,

In economics, when is household debt taken into consideration?

I am a junior economics major and have just now started taking upper level classes. Also, as a junior in college, I am proud to say that I have absolutely NO debt in any form which is very rare these days. In intermediate macro and money and financial institution classes, all have said that they do not take into consideration credit card debt because cards merely "defer" payment. When do economists take into consideration the burden many families have in paying off debt??


Don't believe everything economists report. Most of the reports rely more on statistics than on common sense which is dangerous in the economics field. I would just advice you to make your own decisions instead of relying on "facts". That's what economics is about. Be a leader not a follower. Come up with a new way of analyzing things and you will better yourself.

Is the interest payment on Government Debt taken into consideration when calculating the GDP?



Yes, GDP is a sum of either total expenses or total income. One mans expense is always another mans income, so either way it's always calculated.

If you're in a debt management program, what are the effects of employment consideration?

(In detail, when a company does a credit check, does being in a debt management program effect the chances of employment? I have never been late with payments or went through bankruptcy. I signed up to reduce interest rates. Your honest feedback would be appreciated.


It's actually a good thing because it shows personal responsibility versus non-payment. Credit wise it helps because you make payments on time. What can hurt you is your present credit rating if it is low. But that also depends on whether your company checks that and how it ranks that information. Your focus should be on a good interview highlighting what you bring to the company.

Any body do the debt consideration program with Consumers Alliance Processing Corporation (CAPC)?

do you like there service? do you think they charge to much for the service fee?


I have good experience with a debt consolidation company. It is the best ever. You want to know who it is. Its me. I learnt everything I could about debt management and then I put it all into practice. I spoke with my creditors, stopped interest and came up with a repayment plan. Those very same creditors now have me at AAA rating and lend whenever I need it. This is how you and everyone else goes about debt management. It really is quite easy to do. My profile has more because I put my experience onto a site for others, and yes, its free.

Part payment of a debt will not be adequate consideration to discharge a debt?

discuss


Why would it be? When you purchase something, unless it is defective or doesn't do what the seller claims, you have agreed to pay the amount. Partial payment could cost you much more, if the seller decides to settle the matter in small claims court.


Not without the prior agreement of the creditor. Or as part of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in the US.


Part payment - the word itself connotes that it is NOT full consideration paid as per the contract/agreement. Unless the creditor waives off or agrees to take the 'part payment' and gives a discharge to you, the part payment will be a partial payment of consideration and your liability will stand reduced to that extent (subject to factors like rate and mode of appropriation of your payment towards interest and principle etc).

How do tax considerations affect the cost of debt and the cost of equity?

I'm working on my Finance homework and I am soo lost! Please keep it simple because I am struggling.


Please be more specific. Do you want to know the affect on the Goverment or the people paying the taxes?

If the Gov't doesn't collect enough taxes, then they borrow money from other countries to cover the deficit. The cost of this deficit is higher when it is borrowed from countries that when it is borrowed from constituents. When money is paid back to outside entities, then the money leaves our economy and lowers the nation's GDP.

Cost of equity is similar to the cost of saving. If you use a Keynsian Cross, it shows that when people save that the money comes out of the GDP and therefore less money goes towards making products.

I'm not sure if this is what you were asking...

How much does having bad debt effect getting a federal law enforcement commission?

I have some bad debt that I am trying to get cleared up. I'm now on a payment plan w/a debt management company, but wanted to know if they will take that into consideration when it's time to get my commission.

Debt considerations for a VA Mortgage on the spouse in a community property state?

I have great credit and live in a community property state. I have been married for less then a year and my wife had several accounts in collections before we were married that show up on her credit report that the loan officer pulled. He states her balances and monthly payments listed on her credit report have to be considered as part of the total housing debt. I qualify without issue by myself for the loan however, when the loan officer looks at her report he sees several open accounts accounts in collections that have balances due and with minimum payments listed that in total that take me over the allowable percentage to qualify for the loan. Any idea why her credit report even has to be reviewed and these items in consideration when I am applying for the loan myself only?

How does a Court Ordered Judgement to repay a debt work?

If you are being sued and you admit the debt is yours and you intend to pay, must you go to the court hearing? I know if you don't then the case proceeds without you and the judgment is by default against you.
Now, when the judge decides that you must pay your debt, does he make it in one lump sum, or are payment arragements made? Does he take into consideration what you make and your living expenses? How does it work. I live in PA so wages can't be garnished. I don't own a car and I'm still paying on my house. Can someone explain what all is going to happen? thanks! And please, no guessing, only educated answers.
OK i already mentioned that they CAN NOT garnish wages in PA. There are only 4 states that do not allow this and PA is one of them. So please, no more info on that since it doesn;t apply!


If you don't go to the hearing, the judge will enter a judgment against you for the amount they list. You owe that amount. At that point, you can begin making payments, however, do so THRU THE COURTS, that way there is a paper trail. Most judges will let you set your own payment. As long as you are making the payments, nothing will happen. If you don't, the company can file a Proceeding Supplemental and ask the judge to guarnish your wages. (Oh, you can also voluntarily request that your wages be guarnished if you want.) Good Luck.

When applying for a personal loan at a bank what things do they take into consideration?

My b/f wants to buy me an engagement ring but he has school loan debt, and a few other loans that he needs to pay off. Do you think they will give him the loan?


It depends on how much he wants to borrow and how an interest rate he's willing to pay (the riskier he is as a credit risk, the higher the interest rate will be.)

He needs to be able to show current employment (usually a couple of months of paystubs will suffice); needs to list all his debts (that is credit cards and everything else for which he owes money); needs to have sufficient income to cover his basic living expenses in addition to being able to repay the loan; needs to be able to explain satisfactorily any bad stuff in his credit report; has to have a stable employment history and length of residence.

Why do you want to start off your marriage so far in debt? Save up for the ring and then buy it. Is he wanting to buy you the ring or are you pressuring him into buying you a ring?

The alarms are going off either way....he shouldn't be wanting to pile up debt and you shouldn't be wanting him to pile up debt.
