Raising to the debt ceiling is paying existing debts. It has to happen.

So any posturing of this sort is just that. Posturing. Or blackmail, against the US.

It is not responsible.

Absolutely — the Republican Party is blatantly holding the nation’s economy hostage, to push a crazed far right agenda of slashing social programs and handing windfalls to their corporate masters.
