    Never, we won't default, at least not in the traditional sense. The Federal Reserve is just going to print up the money to pay back China with progressively cheaper and cheaper dollars, such that the nominal debt goes down at the expense of the dollar's purchasing power.

    Russia might like to default on its debt, but the US hasn't done it through its 234 years.

    The US took on the debt of the colonies so that it could prove its creditworthiness.
