What's to be done here? Every few months/years there's commotion around this and the stock market crashes and comes back after "Congress agrees on raising the debt ceiling".

How to get rid if this problem? Why not quit the charade and auto-increase it forever (who cares anyway).

Gold cares. The petrodollar cares. The debt market cares.

Step number one to getting out of any hole is - stop digging and lay the shovel down.

And they'll extend it. There is absolutely no reason to talk about this because it's a moot point.

McCarthy shouldn't do **** unless spending is cut DRASTICALLY.

Don't care if people working for the government don't get paid for awhile.

"Debt ceiling" has zero meaning any more.

It is simply another debt rung.

You're talking about the budget, not the debt ceiling.

They're synonymous. If you don't cut spending they continue to run a deficit which requires raising of the debt ceiling again in the future.

I get what you are saying but neither party is interested in lowering spending. If you believe they are, you are naive at best and fool at worst. That isn't directly aimed at you.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

I'd love to see this fight fought… but history leaves me jaded. IF the GOP mounts a "resistance" it be ineffectual, any "shutdown" will be bureaucrats being gifted a free vacation, and the ceiling increase will conjoin with an omnibus that's more pork laden it than what preceded it.

Balanced budget unless authorized by every state legislature and only during war or emergency reasons.

People who would not get paid:
People getting Social Security
Hospitals ( huge chunk of their business is medicare)
US treasury debt holders
All military personnel
All military contractors

This is NOT gift shop employees at the Smithsonian getting sent home because the museum is closed

This might be a move to force the Biden Administration into monetizing the debt using the TRILLION DOLLAR Platinum coin

Nothing to worry about.. the 81 million who voted for Biden will suck it up and fund the debt.
