Yeah, I am worried about what the future holds for my child on the way. Maybe we should become illegal immigrants to China?

Pickles are a very good thing to have. When your done with the pickles just boil some eggs and throw them in!
Argh! LOL
I seriously doubt we default, it would be catastrophic…
Also the Constitution should not let happen:
Article VI - Debts, Supremacy, Oaths
All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Removed: Supremacy Clause; not relevant to argument that default is unconstitutional.
Removed: Clause that says elected officials must swear an oath to defend constitution as irrelevant to constitutionality of default.

The Constitution has no place in modern day politics. dont you know anything?
The part referred to above from Article VI is referring to debts the government ran up during the Revolutionary War and that it ran up when the US operated under the Articles of Confederation. .
That clause was added to mollify bankers who were worried that they would be stiffed by the US on existing debt. Not an unreasonable concern considering that with the adoption of the Constitution we became a new nation.
It really is not all that difficult to understand. I can see why smarmy lying politicians would want people to believe a default is unconstitutional but why anyone else with at least a 6th grade education who can read would believe it is beyond me. Sometimes I think a whole lot of parents should demand a refund from the state for the crappy education their kids got at state schools payed for with their taxes.
