The US government takes in over 200 Billion in tax revenues every month. The debt servicing(interest etc.) bill is 20 Billion per month. So to default on the debt, the debt would have to become the lowest priority budget item. In other words there is plenty of money to pay the interest, it is being used as a political weapon and default is a lie.

Oh - I think I’m getting it now. Too little of the government is designated as “non-essential?”
