"The US government has no contractual obligation" Sure it does. It has the debt interest. It also has things like SSI, Medicare, military pay and other budgeted promises. Which is the whole problem. Assume that you are right, not very likely given your track record but what the heck. Above and beyond the interest payments, the US has enough income to pay maybe 65% of the rest. Where do you cut? Military pay? Elders on SSI? Medicare? Medicaid? I guess in your world, it is ok for old folks to get tossed out of nursing homes, denied medication, being made unable to buy food? Or military families losing all they have because they have a loved one serving the country? That's the ticket. They just haven't sacrificed enough... Those people have an implied contract, even if it wasn't written out specifically in those terms. But, I understand. You are just fine with screwing millions of Americans. Anything to promote your ideology...
