But does the default happen? Ye? Nay? They're cutting it awfully close...
From what I read there is really no reason for us to defult on anything even if congress cannot pass a bill. To carry the debt is about 10% of our annual/monthly revenue so they will just have to pay those bills above other things. Sad news is the other things are probably Federal Employees.

I just sent in my personal tax returns both state & federal (filed an extension) and I wonder if my refund will be delayed. I don't really care if its delayed just curious.
