It's serious the usa are in situation to default but nowhere info?
The news should look this," people we are in the real trouble and we are about see huge financial collapse and fed having the problems no easy fix "
I mean news are full of other news wich is not even so important compared with this one.
The USA financial system is now close to collapse we are few days away from default.
In this case only way untfortunately will be full scale war.
The amount of debt ....it can not be balanced out with small crisis.
Because that would be stupid on many levels, starting from the fact that you are simplifying and exaggerating the issue, and even if it had seeds of true, it wouldn't justify to purposely create panic. Just ask yourself who would benefit of scaring people with such stupefied populism? Also you are not even backing your claims or offering solutions. And i am guessing you have read such headlines somewhere if you have data to back that up so what news are you following then?
You can pretty much find spendings of every branch and budget online whese days because that's how transparent democracy work. And if you still are confused, write to your congressman about it and make them explain it eli5 style.
