Odd, I know many dyslexics who when writing by hand have difficulties, yet typing on a modern computer/device always manage to accurately and succinctly present their point.
Dyslexics would never make the mistake of writing "YOUR" instead of "YOU'RE".

China could dump the trillion dollars in debt after default

Your so right and a default it going to also mean that investors might pull out of the country.

Hopefully in next 24 hours congress comes to its senses and reaches a deal on the debt celling.

Investors aren't pulling out of the country. In part because there isn't any better place to invest.

That would be an incorrect assumption. The treasury, by law, must pay what the Congress tells them to...and that would be to pay debt. Now I suppose Obama could try to stop that, but I seriously doubt our president would intentionally argue for default. Do you? Either way, Congress has the power of the purse. The treasury cannot cause default..

Its a correct assumption, because congress tried to tell them to do that last year, and was unable to speak (the bill failed), so as far as the treasury is concerned, no one is telling them to do anything. Until someone does, they will continue to pay bills as they always have, first gets paid first. I don't know where you are coming up with this assumption that congress has told them to pay debts first, they haven't, in fact, they specifically failed to do that.

You have it backwards. Investors want their debt paid back first and foremost of course, but they also want FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY from those they invest in, so that future payments are assured. It is NOT bankruptcy to scale back spending, sell off assets or defund programs that are no longer viable. It's the fiscally responsible thing to do when you're living beyond your means.

I agree with this, but this has also not happened. There have been no spending cuts, and there wont be any tomorrow. Not paying people you are lawfully obligated to pay, is not the same thing as spending cuts.



I agree, as long as you mean cut spending by way of passing laws to reduce spending, not cut spending by just not paying people. Its the difference of laying people off, vs employing them and not paying them.

A technical default will have all the same ramifications as a technical default.

In fact today we have already seen a massive amount of people trying to dump treasuries, so the effect is already happening

When government begins to reign in spending, you let us know about the effect on treasuries. Until then, we just keep piling on the debt while our "leaders" false incite panic by talking about default. THAT is what hurts interest rates and credit ratings, not fiscal responsibility.

This isn't "false incite panic". Investors are seeing it as it is. They are invested in a company, that has a balance sheet problem, but they aren't fixing the balance sheet, they are plunging full on into not being able to pay someone. Once again you seem to assuming that not paying people is the same as reducing spending, its not. One way, the government is legally obligated to pay these people, the other way it is not. Investors are seeing someone who is legally obligated to pay someone, but just wont be able to do it. That, is called Bankruptcy.[/QUOTE]

That Congress failed to pass a bill prioritizing certain bills does not change the fact they have the power of the purse. If a debt ceiling deal is not reached, you can bet your ass Congress will tell the Treasury to pay the debt. Only Reid/Obama could try to stop that, and that ain't gonna happen.

And I disagree with your assessment of how investors and credit rating agencies would react to our beginning to live within our means. Again, if we stopped raising the debt ceiling, Congress would be FORCED to reduce spending, which is in fact the fiscally responsible thing to do, which in turn would be reflected in our credit rating.

America going to default

I understand lying like this helps to panic the masses into supporting your agenda, but it's still a lie.

For the record, our current level of federal tax revenue is more than 10 TIMES that which is necessary to make our debt payments.

The only way we default is if the current administration refuses to make that payment despite having PLENTY of money to do so.

While that's true, the gov't lacks the authority to pick and choose which payments to make. And Obama has refused that authority.
No, we are going to default and the consequences could be catastrophic.

Sorry Rabbi, but I say you're wrong on this one. Congress has the power of the purse, which absolutely gives them oversight on who gets paid. Now if you want to suggest that Reid/Obama would INTENTIONALLY cause default, you can make your case, but I'm saying that isn't going to happen. Hell, if it did, he'd be in violation of the 14th amendment and up for impeachment. So hell, I wish you were right! But in reality, default isn't going to happen. Congress would HAVE to prioritize payments without a debt ceiling deal and it's about time they do so!

 

[freedombecki]

Heres another article in examiner showing why america would default and how bad it be

The debt is not just numbers; it is real money that has been lent with real expectations of returned payment. The debt is owed to multi-national banks, foreign countries, and the public itself through treasuries. If an individual defaults on a loan, the debt does not disappear. Instead, the bank takes the loss. If the United States goes into default, much of the world will suddenly face the prospect of losing about $14 trillion dollars. The results likely will be catastrophic.

Many of the world's largest banks, which are still hardly on solid footing after the 2008 financial crisis, would go bankrupt due to their exposure to the United States. Credit for simple things like houses and car loans may become unavailable as a result. Most large companies use short-term credit to make their payrolls. That credit would disappear, and as a result, many workers would have to start going without a paycheck. There is a very real possibility that people would go to their local bank or ATM and not be able to withdraw cash from their account. Hyperinflation could very likely ensue as the United States dollar becomes basically worthless. The "full faith and credit" of the United States is the only thing holding up the value of the dollar, so when that credit is gone, it is hard to imagine the dollar's surviving with it.

In response to the crisis, businesses would once more lay off workers, only worsening matters and creating a downward economic cycle, which results in a depression. The stock market would plummet as well, negatively affecting the 401(k) accounts of millions of Americans. The price of oil would skyrocket, and with it likely the price of gasoline. Ironically, the only people to benefit may be the firms which invested in the kind of credit default swaps that caused the 2008 financial disaster.

So bad all round

Nothing in those words suggests we don't have PLENTY of money to pay the debt. Again, tell us why...in your own words...you think we would default. Who is going to refuse to make a debt payment when there is more than enough money to do so?

mate if you default markets around the world would plunge and investors would pull out. Not just my words but bbc and many non american sites words.

Decker, default is just not going to happen. Why not move on. We're monitoring a President who thinks there is no limit to using the United States Treasury as his campaign donor grab bag. He is pissed because John Boehner has told him his criminal use of American funds is done.

So what does the little boy do? He makes life hard on America's veterans and defenders by carrying through threats he makes. He wants Nancy Pelosi's BIL to have a cushy life, so he calls the Treasury with a good fist shake about what will happen to them as federal employees if Nancy's pals and family do not get every little thing they long for--namely 100% guaranteed loans on businesses they have already drained for cash, so they will get all they wasted plus their initial startup funds back at the expense of the American people.

I cannot tell you how criminal that use of America's assets is for greedmongers like Nancy Pelosi yapping horrid things in retaliation for someone telling her "no." If she weren't slipping stuff out quietly in electronic transfers and had to use armored cars, America would see a lot of silver being driven down the highways from Washington to San Francisco palaces belonging to Nancy's chums. It was funny yesterday to see her screeching on television how America was getting its time wasted by Republicans, when in reality this screeching little dowager is hiding serious abuse of trust with re to the American people's money on things that enrich those in her little self-interested family and millionaire's club who feather her nest at election time. She's nothing short of a criminal, she's just better at it than most people, abusing her position in the House of Representatives and loving it.

Obama and Reid have rejected every compromise measure. That includes authority to prioritize payments. What is going to be different this time around? They will default and blame the GOP and the media will run with that story.
Obama is not getting impeached. Violating some clause in the 14thA is not grounds for impeachment. Even if it were, the House might vote to impeach but the Senate will never, never, remove him.
No, I think things could get very dark very quickly.

Look freedom i am not defending the dems either. Their not great at their jobs either but neither are gop at the moment

I think you can still default as if house reject sentate plan today then you will default on your debt on thursday

I am not defending obama. He has been very poor president. But i don,t think gop have been a great either.

Whatever you think of it default is very bad news. Even five programme on five news all said default would be awful.

I think no one come out of this looking good. They need middle compromise between cutting and also ensuring not to much cuts. But neither side can bring themselves to that balanced budget

Well according to buiness insider and wall street journal their is in the content of asia now and they reackon they will put more money into that place then america.

 

[Katzndogz]

Ok lets get over this lie about "default". There is plenty of govt revenue coming in every day to pay the interest on the debt. There is no chance of a default on the debt unless obama chooses to pay something else before the debt.

missing a food stamp payment or a gift payment to NPR is NOT a default.

STOP THE LIES ABOUT THE COUNTRY GOING INTO DEFAULT !

the USA has lots of financial obligations, besides interest on the debt.

we also have bonds that are cashed out daily.

contracts that need to be paid.

There is plenty of money to pay all those too.

Your write on those things. But it could get very nasty if bonds lose their value. Their needs a compromise but sides to far apart.

Hopefully they do right thing and get a deal done. Default is not a good option for anyone.

Their needs to be more love between two sides and less hate. They are all americans at the end of the day and all human beings

Obama and Reid have rejected every compromise measure. That includes authority to prioritize payments. What is going to be different this time around?

The THREAT of default is what would be different. No president wants that on his record, it's unconstitutional (14th), and would set him up for impeachment. The fact he and Reid rejected compromise and prioritization efforts previously is because there was no real pressure to do so. Refusing to raise the debt limit will bring about that pressure. In fact, I don't think it would be an issue at all. Everyone would fall in line immediately to ensure the debt payments are made, if for no other reason than to avoid a downgrade and the subsequent increased cost of borrowing in the future.

They will default and blame the GOP and the media will run with that story.

I disagree. First, the House WILL direct the Treasury to make the debt payments. That will be crystal clear. Any attempt to default will be placed squarely on Reid/Obama. Not even the MSM can overcome something that obvious. They'll blame Republicans for obstructing a debt limit increase to be sure, but there's NO WAY they could do the same with a default...which is yet another reason why it won't happen.

Obama is not getting impeached. Violating some clause in the 14thA is not grounds for impeachment. Even if it were, the House might vote to impeach but the Senate will never, never, remove him.

You're right that he wouldn't actually be impeached, but he sure would be open to the process, which no President wants. He's not going to allow a default if a debt ceiling deal is not reached.

No, I think things could get very dark very quickly.

Well, in reality, I don't think you have to worry one way or the other. I fully expect the Republicans to cave just like they always do and authorize a rise in the debt ceiling while allowing Obamacare to go forward and continue to destroy the jobs market. We didn't get to $17 trillion of debt and all these centrally planned laws with Democrats alone.

What just might happen is the debt ceiling is increased and one or more credit agencies downgrade us anyway for not getting our long term debt under control. We'd deserve it.

The reason I don't mind a refusal to raise the debt limit is because not only am I 100% sure the debt payments would continue, I feel it's the only way to force real spending cuts, which we desperately need.

Either way, I guess we'll all see soon enough...

The Default Threat is Kabuki Theater and the MSM are a bunch of dupes.

Congressman David Schweikert of Arizona, the former treasurer of Maricopa County nails it:


“You and I can find ways the game-playing has been done,” said Arizona Rep. David Schweikert, the former treasurer of Maricopa County. “You don’t get to have those debates and discussions if you have the administration able to game-play with the trust funds.”

Another reporter asked Schweikert to respond to some doom-saying quotes from Chinese bankers. “I lay this at the steps of the administration and Jack Lew,” said the congressman. “The unconscionable, unacceptable use of language, the word ‘default,’ when the borrowing we need for 2014 is we’re 16 percent short on revenue. To use the word ‘default,’ to scare the markets—are politics really that important to this administration that it ignores basic math?”

Schweikert ticked off ways that he, as a county treasurer, had sought balance. “The basic repo desk, running your ladders on your debt—it’s stunning that the politicians in the administration care more about keeping this as a wedge than the international markets. Even Geithner made it clear that he had the ability to prioritize…. here is no such thing as default unless there is an actual evil attempt from the administration. When you have 18 percent of GDP coming in in cash, less than 2 percent going out in debt coverage—I’m stunned you all fall for it in the press. None of you were math majors, were you?”
