1554: The Verger

14th Amendment Debate, California Debt Default

President Joe Biden has expressed hesitation regarding the use of the 14th Amendment to unilaterally issue debt, calling it a potential constitutional crisis. The hosts dismiss the 14th Amendment talk as a media distraction and predict a "continuing resolution" will eventually be used to kick the can down the road. They also note that California has defaulted on $18.5 billion in federal unemployment debt while simultaneously discussing multi-million dollar reparations.
