    The Hill (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 72% • 2 min read

    The debt ceiling does not increase or reduce government spending, but sets a cap on how much debt the government can take on while paying for obligations already approved by Congress and the president.

    ...
    Senate Republican leaders said this week there will not be enough Republicans to support a debt ceiling increase or suspension if it is not tied to debt reduction measures. Democrats have refused those requests, arguing that the GOP is holding the economy hostage to partisan demands.
    ...
    Yellen also warned lawmakers that the threat of a default alone could damage the nation's financial standing. She cited the decision among rating agencies to downgrade the U.S's credit worthiness for the first and so far only time during the 2011 debt ceiling standoff.
