I have a question
🤔💭 Theory 😲💡
I am a brain dead, so I have a question for you smart people.
Let's assume that the debt ceiling talk cannot be resolved and we as a country default on our debt.
What happened then? Who are these debtors? What will they repo?
Debt ceiling and default are different. Debt ceiling means the country has borrowed the maximum that congress has authorized. Congress saying they will not raise the debt ceiling is like the credit card company not raising your credit limit.
Default means a failure to pay an already-existing debt. Each debt will have its own agreement regarding the consequences of default, but defaulting is not the same as hitting the debt ceiling.
Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate that.
Your brain is more quickened than you think!
Thank you.
