Congress Presses Debt Terms Despite Unpayable Settlements
Congress has set a fixed standard for debt settlements, insisting on full principal plus 41 4 percent interest. No debtor can meet that figure, and past settlements with nations like Britain failed to reach it. Yet Congress threatens to reject any deal short of its target, arguing only nations capable of paying can be trusted to settle.
