I'm amazed how much wrong information is out there - shutdown is very different from the debt ceiling. Shutdowns happen when Congress fails to pass a budget, and it is actually law now that federal employees will receive backpay during a shutdown. The debt ceiling is in place to **pay debts Congress has already approved to spend**. Congress has already passed a budget through September.

You are correct…I was trying to respond too fast. We’ll default, we won’t shutdown.
