Well, it’s official now: The U.S. government on Friday breached the current
debt ceiling. Congress probably has until the end of February to raise the
cap before the Treasury begins to default on its borrowing for the first
time ever.
The government’s borrowing cap of $16.69 trillion was suspended last
October as part of a bipartisan budget deal that ended the 16-day government
shutdown and gave Congress until early this year to pass a new budget and
get the government’s fiscal house in order. Today was the deadline for
reinstituting the old debt ceiling unless lawmakers and the White House
could agree on a new, higher borrowing level.
没有国会批准，就超过CEILING，谁知道以前是不是也这么干过。
