What's the impact of this debt ceiling being raised?
- trustingtrust 3y agoI am not someone who understands global economics. But from what I understand based on a 10 minute read is that it's something thats raised every so often and there is a political debate on why it's bad for everyone. Why would the impact of something thats regularly done be worse than other times ?

- gregjor 3y agoNothing. Run off the mill political spectacle and shameful pork-barrel bargaining at this point.

- GianFabien 3y agoIncreased interest payments. The government is borrowing money to pay the interest on previous debt ceiling rises. Ok, it's more complicated than that. The bottom line is that the USA is importing more goods and resources than it is exporting. The USA's Gini Coefficient has been trending upwards for decades. Not encouraging for those who are not amongst the top 0.01%.
