Geez did you even read the article you linked to?:

But when that X Date arrives, one fact is certain: the Treasury Department will not have enough cash to pay everyone who is supposed to be paid. As such, some people and organizations would risk not getting paid.

Some have suggested that Treasury prioritize certain payments over others. In other words, the government would pay some bills in full and on time, but not others. Presumably, interest would be paid on the nation’s outstanding debt first, but how would officials decide who gets paid and who does not? It may be a moot question; Treasury’s computer system may not be capable of selecting some bills to pay while ignoring others (although interest payments, which are handled by a separate computer system, may be an exception).
