I remember my HS history teacher explaining to us young skulls full of mush how the US defaulted in 1814, a result of the fallout from the War of 1812

We only default if we fail to pay intetest on the debt.
That, IIRC, has NEVER happened.
We can still make interest payments with revenue coming in.
If the US defaults it’s because Deep State has refused to write the check.
