Yes 44 years ago was the last time. 1979 was an awful year.

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

In 1971, when Nixon delinked the dollar from gold for international transactions, that was another default.

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.

Biden Claims He’s ‘Blameless’ If America Defaults on Debt: ‘I’ve Done My Part’

Scroll down to the comment by DelendaEstMarxismo that debunks the default crap. His numbers look good to me.
