Recent years, the debt ceiling has been a contentious topic with political negotiations often breaking down and leading to the threat of government shutdown. Meanwhile, the national debt has kept rising due to ongoing budget deficits and an absence of fiscal responsibility. Raising the debt ceiling was a necessary measure to avoid an economic catastrophe, yet it also raised questions about government borrowing and its long-term effect on GDP. Congress must navigate the complex budget process and consider debt reduction strategies in order to avert a debt ceiling crisis that could negatively affect credit ratings agencies, financial markets, and even lead to inflation or higher interest rates. Effective public debt management and responsible tax policy will be essential in solving these problems and guaranteeing long-term economic stability.
