It's shocking watching, listening or reading the clowns who don't understand the situation.
The US economy, like others, exists on debt. Without that debt the US economy would be $10 trillion worse off. Well maybe not that much as a lot of the money is spent overseas.

Does that figure ring a bell?
Here's a clue.
So taking out $1 trillion is going to mean $1 trillion less in the US economy. That's 7.1% of the total US economy. The US needs to slow down the lending and reduce the interest payments to achieve a lower debt. Imagine what that's going to do to your wallets. Because this industry is all about disposable income. That's going to hit porn harder than anything. Even Tubes will close, because sales to sites won't be there like they do.
If you have money pornless, buy land. Gold might get hit as well. On the other hand it might not, but you're relying on the standard remaining on gold. And it's not much use for anything buy jewelery. So who knows. Land is a far safer bet.
Stock market.
In reality there will be no default, the US has to get it's economy ship shape. It will hurt, but not nearly as much as the Depression in the 30s.
