Very strongly agree

No, altering the terms of debt obligations is economic suicide and should never be considered

Democrats have repeatedly described the idea of altering U.S. debt obligations as 'economic suicide.' For example, during the 2023 debt ceiling standoff, President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that even considering default or renegotiation would undermine global confidence in the U.S. economy.

Strongly agree

No

Democrats have consistently argued that the U.S. should not renegotiate or default on its debt, regardless of the creditor, to preserve the full faith and credit of the United States. This position was strongly articulated by Democratic leaders during the 2011 and 2023 debt ceiling crises, where they warned that any move to alter debt obligations would have catastrophic economic consequences.

Agree

No, not until we are incapable of paying our current obligations

Democrats might reluctantly agree that renegotiation could be considered only in the event of an actual inability to pay, but their preference is to avoid reaching such a crisis. This is consistent with their approach during debt ceiling debates, where they have argued for raising the ceiling to avoid even the appearance of default.

Disagree

Yes, but only on terms they overwhelmingly support

While Democrats value international cooperation, they would still see renegotiating debt—even on terms favorable to creditors—as undermining U.S. credibility. The party's position has been that the U.S. should meet its obligations as agreed, not seek to change terms after the fact.

Disagree

Yes

The Democratic Party generally supports honoring U.S. debt obligations to maintain global financial stability and the credibility of the U.S. dollar. Renegotiating debt specifically with adversarial nations could undermine trust in U.S. commitments and set a dangerous precedent. For example, during the 2011 and 2023 debt ceiling debates, Democratic leaders emphasized the importance of paying U.S. debts on time to avoid economic turmoil.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and we should renegotiate with all our debt holders

Renegotiating with all debt holders would be seen by Democrats as reckless and destabilizing. The party has historically supported upholding all U.S. debt obligations to maintain the country's financial reputation and avoid global economic disruption.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to just default on all of our foreign debt holders

The Democratic Party would strongly oppose defaulting on all foreign debt holders, as this would destroy U.S. creditworthiness and destabilize the global economy. Democratic leaders have consistently warned against any form of default, emphasizing the catastrophic consequences for both the U.S. and the world.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to just default on our debt obligations to adversarial nations

The Democratic Party would strongly oppose defaulting on debt to adversarial nations, as this would severely damage U.S. creditworthiness and global economic standing. Democratic leaders, including President Biden and former President Obama, have repeatedly stated that default is not an option, even in the face of political disputes with countries like China.
