Every member of Congress must sign a pledge to the American People and promise to support all legislation that will prevent the U.S. from defaulting on the national debt. Default by the United States would have a destructive impact on the world economy. It is a threat to national security and our national welfare for any member of Congress to refuse to protect and defend the credit rating of the United States.
Why is this important?
Every member of Congress must sign a pledge to guarantee the U.S. does not default on the national debt. Congress authorizes all government spending. Congress authorizes the government to borrow money to pay for that spending. Every member of Congress must promise to support all legislation that will prevent the U.S. from defaulting on the national debt.
