BFT3K, gave you a clue.

It's called trickle-down-loan.

The country's lending "trickles down" to the people.

Lower taxes, cheap gas, spending on projects.

If you decide not to pay, the money stops coming and the US is in the shitter big time. Your banks collapse, shares collapse, stock market collapses, Wall Street collapses and most of the US economy which includes you collapses. The effects would be horrendous.
