Umm... The country has defaulted at least twice. The last time was 1971... When we defaulted on the Gold Standard.

Spending fiat money willy nilly will lead to the 3rd default in US History.

[Uvotedthis]

How about we first cut our budget by closing the Border and sending all those temporary 20-year visitors home where they can learn to speak English and save us Millions wasted on just the telephone calls where they go " Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Spanish, press 3 for Chinese, Etc etc etc
