Senate passes debt ceiling deal, staving off default

[d0gbreath]

my ass they could,, let them try,,

They do carry a majority of our debt. Between our interest payments, and them making and selling us most of the things that we buy, we are a cash cow to them, so they probably wouldn't want to disrupt that.

that doesnt mean they can repossess anything,,

I should have said we should file bankruptcy and reorganize by cutting gov by 60-80 percent,, then offer them 50 cents on the dollar and cut off all trade with them,,

any default would be intentional not necessary,,

I know that we give economic foreign aid to China to help the Tibetan areas. Apparently not enough to make the top ten list:

Top 10 countries that received the most foreign aid obligations from the U.S. in 2020:

1. Afghanistan ($3.97B)
2. Israel ($3.31B)
3. Jordan ($2.6B)
4. Egypt ($1.47B)
5. Ethiopia ($1.21B)
6. Iraq ($1.18B)
7. Nigeria ($1.11B)
8. South Africa ($1.11B)
9. Congo (Kinshasa) ($965.4M)

I haven't seen the exact figures, but it looks like the R's got 'the no SNAP freebie unless you work'

While the bailed-out bankers still have no work requirements for their billions.

I dont consider dumping more debt on our children as a good thing,, better to default now and fix the problem,,
