[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]How? Seriously question. It is my understanding that the debt ceiling has to be raised to prevent a default
Is that correct?
[b]Yes.[/b]
It is my understanding that McCarthy has committed to raising the debt ceiling to the level necessary to pay for obligations they the US government has already made. Is that correct?
[b]No, he has not committed to raising the debt ceiling to the level needed to pay for obligations that the US government has already made.[/b]
It is my understanding that the President has rejected that because he is ants the debt limit raised to a higher level that would ensure that obligations NOT yet made would be covered. Is that correct?
[b]No, the president wants to debt limit raised to exactly the level that would ensure that obligations ALREADY MADE would be covered. [/b]
 If I am correct on all counts, then really it isn’t a matter of republicans refusing to raise the debt limit to a level necessary to prevent a default. It’s a matter of Biden wanting it to go even higher.
[b]You are incorrect. It is a matter of Rs refusing to raise the debt limit to a level necessary to prevent default on US obligations.
