Will The US Default On $14.5 Trillion Debt?

The US Federal Budget Deficit is nearly $1.4 trillion and climbing. The US Debt Clock lays out the numbers. The debt ceiling aside for a moment, if your were President Obama or Speaker Boehner, what would you cut to balance the budget? How would George W Bush do it? How about the $212 billion in interest payments for starters? The United States' largest creditor is China. Is is wise to owe the Chinese government over $585 billion? Why should America have to borrow money from any foreign government?
