I don't think the US government will default in the sense of not paying debts or liabilities. It will just pay them off with highly depreciated dollars. No need to default when you can create unlimited money out of nothing.

We’ll hit $40 Trillion in debt in a few months. Debt interest payments are about to exceed SS/Medicare as the #1 expense, while they boost Defense spending by 50% (for the uneducated, this is not a made up number)
Beyond the 80s type inflation that most can’t comprehend, there is no choice but to cut SS/Medicare drastically.
We’re staring at 1929.
I don’t think most people born after about 1960 have a clue what that means or what’s coming. They quit teaching reality in schools sometime in the 70’s..
And the Mad King is pouring gasoline on it and burning it down faster as we speak.
So naturally after I buy some #XLF yesterday, expecting the big banks to report great earnings this morning, they do!

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) on Tuesday reported a nearly 47% increase in earnings to $7.70 per share, to beat FactSet estimates for $5.29 per share.
