    Debt deal reached!

    it's an antiquated notion from back when presidents used to set budgets instead of congress (early 1900s)

    since congress started writing budgets it has generally been a formality to raise, but republicans know how to exploit their power effectively so here we are. since congress loves power as much as the next guy it'll never go away

    only other country with a debt ceiling? denmark

    humans and international governments do not and should not handle their finances in a similar manner, it's an entirely different ball of wax. but to use your example raising the debt ceiling avoiRAB a rate hike from our bank so we can make our monthly payments, which if you have a mortgage is usually priority #1.
