OneWingedShark quoting Section 4:

'The validity of the public debt of the United States [...] shall not be questioned.' "

Well, if it can't be questioned then there's nothing at all to stop the Congress from borrowing billions for foreign aid, that is for things that do not directly benefit the citizens of the states, moreover it can do so to directly fund people who are enemies of the states and the debt itself would be considered valid, even if the act of giving it to them were Treason.
