Adebayo, any U.S. default would be because of a political breakdown rather than a lack of money. The internal debt can be corrected by the government collecting more revenue. But neither party wishes to adjust taxes.

A solution is introducing a VAT (Value Added Tax) to make corporations pay tax because they buy stuff. Those on the left oppose this because it's a flat tax, and the right opposes any tax.

Best.
