If I "tweak" my mortgage or credit card payments, that is a default. I have to pay up what the contract says. I can't change the contract after it's signed. Same thing goes for the Old Age Survivors and Disability "Insurance". Social Security, changing the taxes and retirement age, that is also a default. If you can't meet the original requirements of the contract and law, then that is a default. They are about to default for a third time. The second default occurred when they began taxing Social Security Income. The third default will be when they try to raise the min. retirement age to 70. That is coming and they are going to increase income taxes on your own money you paid in. Not only that they have screwed seniors by no cost of living increase for 2 years now even though food and energy prices have gone up substantially. Are you one of those that say that food and energy and volatile and strip that our of the CPI? Well that is wrong and stealing from the elderly. When food and energy prices trend up, that is not volatility, that is a trend and needs to be included in CPI.
