That's one option.
Another is to ignore the limit and just borrow more anyways.
The 14th Amendment basically says that we can't default.  So Biden must borrow more to avoid default.
If there's a law (the debt limit) that says we can't borrow more, Biden has to chose between following the law, and following the Constitution.  It basically becomes a "This law is unconstitutional" issue.  You can't follow both.
And the GOP Nazi scum will laugh all the way to the bank while telling the pathetic dumb shits that voted for them that this is essential. At this point I don't care. GOP scum can just starve as far as I am concerned. Pathetic. >

Nah, if we default even they aren’t going to the bank. They’re gonna eventually raise the debt ceiling but they’re gonna try to extract all sorts of conditions like cuts to the IRS, Medicare, social security etc.
If they can they might try to tie it to a national abortion ban, because they know when the clock strikes midnight a bill has to be signed >

Really makes me wish we had a law that every bill had to be a clean bill. >

No better way to create a complete financial disaster, usher in an entirely new level of inflation and reverse gdp growth than defaulting on our debt. >

I think people dramatically underestimate the impact of defaulting on our debt.
Default implies severe, long-lasting financial downsides no current American citizen will outlive >

Irreparable harm to the United States has been the goal of the GOP since the election of Donald Trump. >

Long before that. >

Try Reagan and "trickle down" economics.
Bankrupt the people so they are beholden to the rich and have to take what is left over. The rich buy the government, which implodes due to the infighting and corruption, then call for a GEOTUS to get them out of the mess. >

It really kind of goes back to Nixon. >

ok so we agree everything since the new deal was crap >

More or less. >

Could the treasury say for example just say "fuck it" and keep doing business as usual and blow right past the debt ceiling?  Kinda seems like the only think keeping us from doing that is some words on paper. >

They could, yes.  And they'd have he 14th Amendment, section 4 backing them.  The Constitution says we can't default.  So by saying 'fuck it' they are following the Constitution.  Constitution trumps law when the 2 are at odds. >

The constitution is the highest form of written law in the United States. >

When the U.S. goes into default, just make sure everyone is certain the blame falls on the Republican Party.
Something needs to happen that will keep these assholes out of power for a generation or two. >

Dems need to respond with: "Here, the entitlements are fine, but the Trump tax cuts are gone."
"This would not be a problem if you had not caused it on purpose."
or, in the immortal words of Liz Cheney, "You f%\^in did this, Kevin." >

Interesting.  Would directly effect me because I am self employed, but an excellent tactic.
Need to emphasize that any restructuring will protect Social Security and Medicare.  I am tired of paying into a system that I am told will not be there for me. >

And somehow, this will get spun so hard to make it all seem like the Dems bankrupted the country, when in fact, the snowball escalated with Reagan and continued with every R we’ve had in office since. The debt never stopped with them. >

It goes back and forth whether Republicans or Democrats are responsible because the debt grows so quickly now that much of it is created in the current president’s term. The fact is both parties care far too little about the debt. The Republicans would rather have large military spending and tax cuts that don’t pay for themselves and the Democrats want to spend as much as possible on various social programs. There used to be a small fringe of fiscally responsible centrists on both sides of the aisle but now that centrism is dead and ideological warfare is rampant that basically doesn’t exist anymore. >

Weird how this comes up every time the GOP get a House majority and the ceiling gets raised each and every time. 
We're going to see the usual suspects on Twitter acting like the sky is falling and blaming democrats for the GOP legislation that caused the debt issues. >

I mean, honest question: what can Biden and the Dems about this? I know people talk about minting that trillion dollar coin, but is that even likely? What else can be done?
