Short term treasuries are still safe, right?

[matjone]

I keep money  that I haven't found a place for yet in short term treasuries .  I see that some people are worrying that u.s. debt might not be safe with all the financial problems the U.S. is having and with the debt ceiling issue.  Is there any reason to be worried about this money?

 

I don't think I am smart enough to figure it out, but maybe some of you are.  My gut is telling me that the odds of them defaulting on this are slim to none.
