First concerns about the debt ceiling in the United States

The US Treasury Department preferred to take the lead. While still preparing to raise record amounts of debt in the next quarter, he sent a clear message to parliamentarians. They must now think about a new suspension or adjustments to the debt ceiling rule.

This normally sets the limit of the federal indebtedness of the United States each year. When it is exceeded, the Treasury no longer has the right to issue new securities on the markets. The only solution: get Congress to raise this ceiling. A decision that often gives rise to long and difficult negotiations between Democrats and Republicans.
