Top from last 48 hrs Treasury Secretary Yellen to Congress: Raise the debt ceiling or risk 'irreparable harm.' 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. A two-year deal to suspend the debt limit expires on July 31, and Congress is unlikely to reach another agreement to lift it before then. ... 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. - Top from different political viewpoint
