Anyone know anything about the significance of this fact in detail? Seems absurd that we have no way to prioritize principal/interest above all else.

You have to submit checks/payments to a vast array of government agencies to pay salaries. You would have to send checks/payments to large amount of hospitals, doctors, citizens, etc. to pay medical entitlements. All you have to do is send a book entry wire to banks to pay Treasury payments. It's just operationally a lot easier than dealing with the first two.

My hope is that the GOP stands its ground and refuses to raise the debt ceiling. Balancing the budget and prioritization of spending is something long overdue.
