5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs7 years agoPlease explain why not raising the debt limit is automatically associated with default on the debt?
If the debt limited is not authorized, the US still collects enough revenue each month to cover 65% of what it wants to spend on. Servicing the debt only accounts for 6% of spending. Then there's the 14th Amendment. It says that the debt must be attended to above all other spending. There is no reason why servicing the debt can't be covered. If fact, it would be breaking the law not too. Besides, like all Congressional tussles, it would be temporary. It's never a permanent situation.

4 AnswersYahoo Answers9 years agoWhy are Puerto Ricans tolerating a referendum that is rigged?
The upcoming referendum to determine their status is rigged (weighted) to favor statehood through it's two part process. The first referendum gives the people a choice of status quo or "something else". Keeping things the way they are as always been the most popular choice in straight-up referendums in the past. This referendum pit it against the combined power of 3 other choices in the form of "something else". If the latter wins, then "something else" is voted on in........a straight-up vote, where statehood would be the popular choice.
