In a few minutes, Marketplace goes to a Marketplace to start a series to try to reward you for getting through a fraught election season, whatever your politics.

First, a Wall Street Credit Rating Agency has a new calculation saying the U.S. government's finances could deteriorate if President-elect Donald Trump implements the fiscal policies on which he campaigned.

Here's Marketplace's Novosopo.

Moody says Donald Trump's campaign promises, such as more tax cuts, are increasing the risks associated with U.S. sovereign debt because they could blow a hole in the federal budget.

Today, Tricks of the Trade in one of the great bazaars in America, the Rose Bowl flea market

in Pasadena, California.

All right, going through the entrance now into the Great Emporium.

It's a perfect morning. There's no hint that in about hour and a half, it's going to be 117 degrees. This stadium for the big New Year's Day game has more than

89,000 seats. So imagine its massive parking lot filled with sellers of vintage everything. A beer tray from the

1984 L.A. Olympics, a century-old Russian dress. I have a good old-fashioned market cart. It's like an

appendage when you come to the market. Meet our guide, Annette Vartagnan, who has 84,000 followers
