The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned of a default by the United States of America if politicians cannot agree on new borrowing limits.
The administration of US President Barack Obama is locked in a dispute with Republicans over its efforts to lift the US$14.3 (€9.9) trillion ceiling on US national debt.
That limit has already been reached.

So what would happen if we just say "Yeah, we are not paying."
Yeah how about we throw all the old people out on the street that count on it. Better yet lets just enslave them at fast food joints.

Social Security has already been looted several times over by the scum in Congress.
Social Security is a ponzi scheme that is collasping right now.
Social Security will not be here very much longer.
Good riddance to the most crippling, soul-sucking, money-grubbing, ponzi scheme ever devised. Congress should be ashamed to parade this criminal organization before the American people as if it where a gift from God.
