Why can't the Federal Government declare bankruptcy and apply for a Chapter 13?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) August 15th, 2011

American citizens apply for a Chapter 13 or 11, everyday in Federal Bankruptcy Court. It’s their way of reorganizing their debts to be paid throught the court, in a given time period. Question: so, can the Federal Government apply for bankruptcy in Federal Court? What effect would this have on the world’s economy?
