Like most things in DC, what it's called and what it is are two completely different things, often polar opposites.  Think Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (or Obamadon'tcare as my son calls it)...think Inflation Reduction Act.....think American Recovery and Investment Act.  Bill names, like the debt ceiling, are pure gaslighting of the American people. 

It should be called the Debt Elevator.......every time we reach the floor someone pushes a button for the next floor above.  The Uniparty at their very worst....it's not about whether to up it, it's a question of how much so we can kick the debt can down the road for the next guy.  Sadly, our children, grandchildren and so on are going to pay the price in terms of lower economic activitity, significantly higher taxes and more inflation.  But you know what, Gen Z, X, etc. voted for this nonsense so I will only feel sorry for those that didn't.
