I just don't understand why it's never come up before - it's right there in the Constitution. In the past, there were always enough adults in the room to avoid it, but times have changed. Now, it's Marge Taylor-Greene's party, and she has Speaker McCarthy wrapped around her little finger. She and the others in her merry band will do anything - ANYTHING - to get exposure in the media. God forbid tghey did what they were elected to do and actually legislate...
According to the Constitution, the US CANNOT default on its debts, so POTUS would probably be within his rights to go ahead and order the Treasury to continue making payments with or without an increase in the debt limit. I hope it doesn't come to that - it's not too late for McCarthy to grow a spine. |
