"The federal government takes in around $6 billion a day and spends $10 billion. That means $4 billion per day is borrowed... On both sides of the aisle, politicians claimed that they took a bad deal because the alternative was a doomsday “default” that would sink the American economy... Yale Law Professor Bruce Ackerman noted last week, “There is zero — and I mean zero — chance that the United States will default on its debt even under the worst-case scenario"...

A much better deal was possible, but most politicians were unwilling to make real compromises.

If we wait until we run out of money and our creditors stop lending to us, the cuts will be more abrupt, larger, and more devastating for the most vulnerable Americans."
