Here are some of the factors that the Fed would consider when making its decision: The severity of the default: A small default might not have a significant impact on the economy, while a large default could lead to a recession. The state of the economy: If the economy is already in a recession, the Fed might be more likely to cut rates in order to stimulate growth. The Fed's assessment of the risks and benefits of cutting rates: The Fed would need to weigh the risks of inflation against the risks of a recession when making its decision. It is important to note that the Fed is not obligated to cut interest rates in the event of a debt default. The Fed has a number of tools at its disposal to address economic problems, and it will use the tools that it believes are most effective in the given situation. Quote

If there is a full/severe default, all social programs would see a delayed or even reduced benefits. Automatic ga recession vasthundhi. Republicans are trying hard so that Biden does not get elected. If Biden agrees to all republican demands, we will have a mild or medium recession. Quote
