Money for other payments, such as those for veterans, Medicare and national security, would have to be divvied up from what remained of the scarce federal funds. Republican supporters of the bill maintain that the most important thing is that the nation won&#8217;t default on its credit as long as those interest payments are made on time. \u2018Our goal here is to get ourselves on a sustainable path from a fiscal standpoint,\u2019 Boehner said. \u2018I think doing a debt prioritization bill makes it clear to our bondholders that we\u2019re going to meet our obligations.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/Votes\/2013142\">Roll Call Vote, H.
