Semi serious question? What happens if the United States defaults?

Exactly how secure is the FDIC? It's an independent agency, i believe, but if the dollar takes a shit, what can the FDIC really do? Like, if every tries to cash out at the same time to they have the billions of dollars to back it up?
 
If we get our credit rating lowered, not much. Just a reflection on what should have been done 10 years ago.

Defaulting could cause some major monkey cluster fuck,
 
Hopefully ALL the troops will come home and our bases in countries that we've had them for over 70 years will shut down and someone else can pay TRILLIONS of dollars to play "world cop" for a change.
 
interest rates will go up and will never get this low ever again, or at least until we pay off the national debt which will not happen in your lifetime

Who cares about AAA? I got rid of mine since I can just use my dad's if something happens on the road.
