"there will not be a default on the Federal debt when the Treasury reaches the statutory limit on its borrowing of $14.294 trillion. The Treasury just will not be able to borrow any more money. The Treasury would still pay debts that come due, putting off temporarily payment of less important obligations as necessary to pay the maturing debt."

"Even if we were to spend every dime of federal revenue on mandatory programs (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and the like), we would still have a $20 billion deficit. When you add in interest payments on the debt ($207 billion), we would have a $227 billion deficit. That’s even if we didn’t spend anything at all on discretionary programs, the category of spending that includes homeland security, interstate highways, national parks, and, of course, national defense."

This debt rating deal. Pfft. Not a TEOTWAWKI event. (in and of itself)

BUT, if the FED raises interest rates, or higher interest rates are demanded by the buyers, that could cause our interest payment to increase and futher reduce the purse.

The fix: Cut everything. Every line item. Military included. 25%. INCLUDING the entitlements. Oh, and stop foriegn aid and subsidies until we have a surplus. This with a balanced budget amendment.

See...fixed!

cheers

This is gonna be fun.

Experts have said that the government has to have a deal done by mid-July or they won't have time to finalize the bill, gather the votes and pass it in time for August 2.


So... it will be interesting...

let it collapse, what the hell does government do for anyone? they just decide what freedoms you can have and tax the shit out of us..the roads, schools, almost everything is failing in disrepair..yet these bozos constantly want more to do less.

Belgium has been without a government after its failure for over a year and they don;t even notice the effects..Government has done NOTHING for me or you.

Both ridiculous parties have campaigned for decades on deficits and taxes, but somehow we have a deficit and soaring taxes..

Politicians, create the mess then try to convince you that the only way to correct it to elect the same damn fools that caused the problems in the first place.

none of the criminals in office even talk of stopping the 6 ridiculous wars we are engaged in, none of which we can afford.. I'm asked to give more, accept less so that they can continue their immoral wars for resources.
