Have you ever seen the Federal government of an agency of the Federal government, default on any type of obligation? One example will suffice.

Look up the precursor to FDIC, there is your primary example. Plenty of small ones also, like payments to Vietnam vets, current vets coming back and being shorted on their pay. How about FEMA checks, they are going quite well, hehe. Or the servicemen who were PROMISED they would be taken care of due to the health issues of 9/11 and nothing.
Hey, do what you want, some people are meant to be blind sheep. After all, Big Brother loves you, at least that's what they tell you.
