I strongly disagree. Not saying it is not possible but unless you can show me hard numbers demonstrating exactly the conditions under which the US gov. would not be able to meet its obligations, I don't see it as anything to assign a probability of even 1% much less something that would not be surprising.

How can this happen? All of US Govt's debts are in dollars and the US Govt can print as many dollars as it wants.
