What happens when we default as a nation? If I default on my car loan, the lien holder repossesses my car and sells it to recover what it can. If I default on my home mortgage, the lien holder repossesses my home and does the same.Hi King Dan of Great the 1st
We've defaulted on our debt before. 1862, 1933, 1968 and 1971. It's certainly a rare event and one that should not be taken lightly. We will default on our debt in just a few months, if a new debt ceiling cannot be agreed upon by the legislature. When that will be is going to depend on the negotiating and wrangling of the people involved, but it could come fairly soon.
Janet Yellen, Treasury Secretary, does have the ability to 'pay' or 'hold off' on some payments that could allow us to stretch out the actual event of default for, I think I read, 3-4 months.
God bless,

Then our ability to borrow becomes even more expensive. Our bonds won't be seen as stable as they have always been believed to be. There really isn't any way of really knowing what the blowback will be over all on our economy.What happens when we default as a nation?
