Although cities can go bankrupt, American states cannot do so unless the bankruptcy code is revised to permit it. Even then, for constitutional reasons, an involuntary state bankruptcy may be prohibited. In any event, the budgets of states in bankruptcy are likely to be put under the control of an appointed financial manager.

Although states cannot declare bankruptcy, they don’t need to. They can just repudiate their debts.
