Moody's Threatens to Downgrade US Credit Rating Updated: Thursday, 02 Jun 2011, 2:36 PM CDT Published : Thursday, 02 Jun 2011, 2:36 PM CDT WASHINGTON (AP) - A credit rating agency is warning the U.S. government that it could lose its sterling credit rating if Congress and the Obama administration don't reach an agreement to raise the nation's borrowing limit.
