I agree with Bouie in this well reasoned article.   The 14th amendment makes it clear that the President and Congress must pay all debts incurred or authorized by Congress and signed by the President.  No other reading of the 14th amendment is possible.Biden should just keep paying the debt and continue paying for the government funding approved in December.  Treasury can simply print more hundred dollar bills--in 2022 about $160 billion of 100-dollar bills were printed and issued.   Print another $200 billion.If Repubs in the House want to sue the President, go right ahead.   Even this Repub Supreme Court cannot change the exact wording in the 14th amendment.   Does the Republican Party want to be in favor of not funding national defense, Social Security, Medicare, AND repaying US Treasury bonds?  Me thinks not.Have a little backbone Mr. Biden and stand up for the People, our government and our economy.   These MAGA Repubs will destroy themselves.
