advait0 asked:


The U.S. Federal Government is in major extreme almost unsolvable debt, State governments sometimes go broke resulting in a shut down of services. So what happens when a state government goes bankrupt for a long period of time, say 6 months to a year? What if the Fed can’t give grants, and loans to keep state services open?
