      Our national debt is $20 trillion and neither party is a champion for fiscal responsibility. It's as though Washington has just given up.

      Whether or not that's true (and it's debatable) it has nothing to do with the debt limit, which is just a way to blow up the world economy

      That's a very academic view. The debt ceiling forces an importance national debate about spending. Raise it or not, reevaluation is key.

      No one responsible takes risks with the collapse of world financial markets. It's a very practical view.

      When was the last time it needed to be raised and wasn't? It never happens. Yet it forces a nation examination of spending and that's key.

      Also think about that logic. When was the last time you died playing Russian roulette? Never? Does that mean it's safe? Selection effect

      It's not a game at all. I understand your view, but it's very academic. In practice, the debt ceiling forces leaders to reexamine spending.

          In the end, most understand that the ceiling must be raised and that's what happens, but without this review there is little examination.

          I know that's not textbook ideal, but in practice, there is no other real political forcing function for spending reexamination.

          In practice debt ceiling it's a football. If the reexamination theory were correct would you expect our deficit/debt to be different?

          It's not academic. Talk to anyone in finance markets. One of us is talking about real billion $ costs. The other "debate." Which is academic

          Tying debt ceiling to the budget cycle instead of trailing. Don't pass legislation that not funded.

          Take it up with the Budget. Debt ceiling means paying for what you spent.

          But it clearly doesn't. You just said it always get authorized/raised. It's all for show. Spending happens when laws/budgets are passed.

          The debt limit is money we've already spent. It's misnamed. It's never been used as a political football b4
