Everyone assumes this is the game with the debt ceiling though. If everyone expects it, does it stop working, or do you have to keep upping the ante to be considered a credible? Doesn't this just escalate until there is someone crazy enough to actually let it default?

Donald Trump is the obvious example of this in the current era, but as I read more about the early Cold War it's really interesting how Curtis LeMay-ian he was in that "my button is bigger and works" moment

The early CW was not characterized by MAD, as nobody else really had nukes, so Trump's declaration was straight out of Strategic Air Command. The difference was, Ike knew what SAC was like and was ok with it because he knew he held the reins.
