You cannot go into those systems and easily make them pay some things and not other things. They were not designed that way because it was never the policy of this government to be in a position that we would have to be in if we could not pay all our bills. If you were to prioritize, its my understanding, we know what youre out pay obligations are to some degree. We have a Social Security payment due and major medicare bills do.
