Deep dives
The US government's debt ceiling and borrowing limits
The US government has a debt ceiling that limits its ability to borrow money, and hitting the ceiling can lead to a possible default on loans. However, they have found ways to raise or suspend the debt ceiling in the past. The current issue is slightly different as it involves the looming government shutdown if the US Congress doesn't decide on the annual budget before the end of the fiscal year. This shutdown would affect government agencies and employees, but historically, government shutdowns in the US have had limited economic impact.
