This is the United States of America. Were not some banana republic. This is not a deadbeat nation. We dont run out on our tab. Were the worlds bedrock investment. The entire world looks to us to make sure the world economy is stable. We cant just not pay our bills. And even threatening something like that is the height of irresponsibility.
So what Ive said is I will not negotiate over the full faith and credit of the United States. I am not going to allow anyone to harm this countrys reputation. Im not going to allow them to inflict economic pain on millions of our own people just so they can make an ideological point.
