This is the real issue at hand. Defaulting on our debts could send our country into another depression.
The thing about the 27th amendment is interesting. i feel like it would definitely help, but plenty of politicians have external sources of income, to the point where getting rid of congressional salary would have a negligible effect.
I hope that everyone comes to their senses, and realizes that it's just wrong to hold the government hostage when you don't get your way.
