Could Congress Let America Default On Its Debt?

There is uncertainty in Washington this week as Republicans voted down a measure to raise the debt ceiling amid the backdrop of a potential government shutdown due to disagreement in Congress. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen remarked that failing to raise the debt ceiling could lead to the U.S. defaulting on its debt and the outcome could be disastrous for the American economy. In addition, inflation continues to threaten the economy, as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell says that supply shortages are leading to price increases.
