Imposing a limitation on the amount of debt to be issued is perfectly legitimate and does not qualify as renouncing the validity of the public debt.


At any rate, tax revenues are over $2 trillion annually, more than sufficient to pay the interest on our existing debt. If we "default" (on real debt, not on intragovernmental holdings) it will solely be because Tim Geithner elected to do so strategically.
