"Section Four of the 14th Amendment...says that '[t]he validity of the public debt of the United States,...shall not be questioned.'"

A government can pass an amendment against car crashes, too, but bad drivers will continue to crash. Congress will continue the insane amounts of government spending for their locales, so the default and repudiation are inevitable.

Who will indict the politicians, their favorite globalist/government-employed constituents and others for violating the constitutional Amendment? Maybe you can do that, but you won't stop the eventual repudiation of debt. Repudiations of smaller debts after declines due to globalist policies haven't been stopped before and can't be stopped against hordes of angry peasants.

What the 14th Amendment appears to say, is that the public debt of the US must be paid, as a priority senior to all other obligations.

Put another way, the revenue of the US will be applied to the debt. Any money left over will go to legally-mandated appropriations like Social Security. Any money left over from that will be available to fund things like Defense, Education, etc.
