Congress, White House get a 'D' grade – Christine Romans on a CNNMoney.com survey of economists
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - When it comes to handling the economy, neither Obama nor Congress make the grade.
CNNMoney asked 20 economists to give the Obama administration and the current Congress a letter grade for their performance on the economy. And none of those surveyed gave either one an A.
While both received overall averages of D, Obama did a little better than Congress, scoring three B's and only one F.
This morning on "Early Start," Christine Romans explains why economists felt Congress and the White House should receive the bad grade.
Are we headed for double-dip recession? Christine Romans on what Moody's credit cut for 15 banks means for the economy
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - Some of the world's biggest banks were downgraded Thursday by rating agency Moody's, which cited concerns about the stability of the global financial system.
Moody's cut the ratings of 15 financial institutions after U.S. markets closed Thursday, including giants like Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan.
"All of the banks affected by today's actions have significant exposure to the volatility and risk of outsized losses inherent to capital markets activities," Moody's Global Banking Managing Director Greg Bauer said in a statement.
Moody's review of the banks, announced in February, was prompted by a "reassessment of the volatility and risks that creditors of firms with global capital markets operations face." Among the risks Moody's cited were "more fragile funding conditions, wider credit spreads, increased regulatory burdens and more difficult operating conditions."
This morning on "Early Start," Christine Romans explains what this means for an already fragile global economy.
