And I need to keep repeating: this *won't work*. It will NOT prevent a default on our debt. There are several reasons why it can't prevent a default-- Logistical: Treasury handles an enormous number of payments every day, they aren't set up to pick and choose individual basis. — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican bill prioritizes paying Chinese debt-holders above payments for American schools and hospitals, our seniors who depend on Medicaid, over our police, over our border security, over anyone who works on homeland security or counterterrorism or federal law enforcement. https://t.co/viGiuX0p5M — PolitiTweet.org

Legal: the payments Treasury makes are legal obligations passed by Congress. If some people get paid and others don't, many of those who don't get paid will file lawsuits. This is just common sense to most of us if you think about it for a minute. https://t.co/NBUODGil9s https://t.co/5wUrszozUE — PolitiTweet.org
