So with all the talk about the US debt ceiling... has me wondering..
what would happen if we did default?
Is it the fall of Western Civilization and we all go back to living in
animal skin tents, hunting and gathering to get by
..or
Is it a reset..meaning, kind of like going bankrupt, our debts
My understanding is that basically failing to raise the debt ceiling
is the government saying we are not planning on paying back all the
money we have budgeted..
So, either the government stops paying those bills they budgeted, or
they are going to have to borrow that money as UNSECURED debt.
Yup. Very expensive and probably a global recession with a US depression.
Probably would meltdown Europe too. Very very bad. Most of us would lose our
jobs to start and then it'd get worse from there.
Basically it'd be a self-inflicted shot to the head in that the country might

if we don't raise the debt ceiling, that doesn't mean that we

stream as a nation and could take money from discretionary spending
projects and use it to pay
You are right, we will not default on debt instantly, But, the
