Original Note:
The U.S. government has never fully defaulted on its debt, but experienced a temporary delay in payments in 1979 due to technical issues, which was promptly rectified. This instance is often cited as a "default", but it wasn't a decision to not pay the debt. https://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-materials/2021/10/06/life-after-default/
