Doesn’t matter. The USA committed to spending obligations which are now enshrined in law. Putting aside the issue of whether it’s right to default on something you could pay and agreed via a law to pay, this is a terrible, terrible fucking idea. If you default on bonds because the last guy approved the spending they paid for and even though it was valid you don’t agree with it, the markets are going to go into absolute chaos. I cannot emphasize for you enough how much the idea that t-bills are a safe investment because the USA won’t ever default underpins our entire financial system. Also not to mention that the mere *possibility* of this has *already* made interest rates higher than they should otherwise be, costing the American taxpayers billions in additional borrowing costs.

If you want to check government spending, do it via appropriations. This is financial terrorism, and they already shot a couple hostages.
