The Homa Files

Amazingly, Sec. Geithner said last Sunday that there wasn’t a contingency plan in place – just in case the debt ceiling wasn’t raised.

That’s so unbelievable that I assume he was lying to avoid the politics of disclosing what would and would not be paid,

Good news for Geithner: the Bipartisan Policy Center & Bloomberg have put together an interactive planning tool so that he (and you) can use to prioritize claims … that is, who gets the $172.4 billion that will be coming in during August.

First, read through the excellent “Debt Limit Analysis” done by the Bipartisan Policy Center.

Then take a shot with the “Interactive Debt Prioritizer”.

Finally, read the NYT’s summary Q&As re: the debt ceiling, default, etc.  I think it’s a pretty fair recap of the issues

Thanks to AS for feeding the lead
