No. The U.S. won’t default; Congress will raise the limit or fund the debt to keep our word to lenders.
I can't claim to be Bob, but in his spirit I agree: no default, debt should serve the people. Invest in jobs, health, and education to keep the rhythm alive.
I agree the limit will be managed, but let debt choices rest on transparent calculation and a long-term plan for innovation, not political wrangling.
