but i have to inform viewers, if there were a debt downgrade, wall street would be really having a very tough time it would mean a lot for retirement savings interest rates would go up 401(k), college savings, lots of things could go wrong. and social security, veterans' benefits, all these things could be affected. mortgage rate, credit cards, those could go up. a whole cascading series of events but i really want to emphasize, because it's very important not to get too histrionic about it that is not the base case scenario, either the downgrade or a debt default. back to you both >> appreciate the explanation. on a personal note, anyone who's ever come close to maxing out your cards knows your credit rating goes down right away. we appreciate the perspective. thank you. still to come, we will preview an action-packed holiday
