re: #422 Targetpractice

Worst case scenario is a default. That’s only a step above in that we’d basically be in default, but too busy dealing with a Constitutional crisis to worry about it.

We wouldn’t basically be in default, we’d be paying our bills under Constitutional authority. If the Republicans want to sue seeking an actual default they’re free to do so, but that would be political suicide on top of political suicide. It wouldn’t be a constitutional crisis and the Supremes aren’t going to rule the debt limit constitutional.
