By the way, is no one able to penetrate the truth that default really means not paying the interest on the debt, and we’re not going to do that?
Nobody in the media is brave enough to call out his lie.
We might default but it would reflect either the general incompetence of the Obama administration of the willful instruction by Obama. remember someone instructed the “essential” “barricade” people to put up a new barricade at the WWII Memorial first thing Monday morning
What about the rest of the people we owe money too? The companies that sell the government fuel, food for the troops, munitions, toilet paper, rents building space, provides electricity and other utilities? If they have a contract to provide it and the government doesn't pay them then are you saying the government isn't in default? What about military pay and pensions? What if we don't pay those - default or no? Social Security and Medicare are non-discretionary expenses. Wouldn't failure to pay those be default?
