Original Note:
The U.S. is only on the verge of default because Republicans have been blocking Congress from raising the debt ceiling, an arbitrary limit on how much debt the U.S. can hold. It had been raised every two years regardless of which party has been in charge for decades. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/31/us/politics/republicans-spending-debt-ceiling.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
