Default was a certainty. While it’s very true that the interest on our debt could be paid, programs and other spending would need to be reduced or cut off. When you max out your MC or Visa you stop borrowing, pay off the balances and cut spending except on essentials. Problem here is no way Barky does that. He simply stops paying the interest while continuing to spend the tax receipts on SNAP, EBTs, Medicaid etc. hence we default. Barky and the media blame the GOP, and while the public isn’t stupid and they should get it, They won’t because they will only hear Barky’s whining 24/7.

i don't buy the media lies

even if obama had not paid the interest(which an unconstitutional crime) then if , (that's 2 big ifs so far) then If the economy actually was hurt then it would be obama how got the blame.

what's stopping obama from paying the interest on the debt now then? they needed to pass all this bs for it to pay the interest? i call bs

as if the economy is doing so good now or something

there was no crisis . the media lied

Default ONLY refers to interest on the debt. Not spending on the other stuff is just not spending.
