``After openly acknowledging on Monday afternoon that it had not made a $58 million bond payment, the government quietly disclosed in a financial filing later that afternoon that it had temporarily stopped making contributions of $92 million a month into a fund that is used to make payments on an additional $13 billion in bond debt. A small payment from the fund is due on Sept. 1.
Unlike the bond payments that went into default on Monday, the ones coming due are on general obligation bonds -- the kind many investors have been led to believe would never go into default because the issuer's full faith, credit and taxing authority stand behind them.''
