  Biden can and should just order his Department of the Treasury (which is part of his Executive Branch) to continue as usual past whatever Congress does.
  1) He has the 'full faith and credit' thing to fall back on for a fig leaf
  2) No one has the authority to stop him. Impeachment is meaningless, and you'll never get a double digit number of our own side to stab our side's President in the back with a removal
context: The vast majority of them weren't elected for any of those things. They were elected to "upset the libs." By that metric, they'll do pretty well with their voters. Chaos is what many of those voters want. >

  Some points that bear repeating until this is settled:
  
  The debt in question is debt we already owe. That's why it would be a default. The GOP is hoping a majority of Americans are unable to realize this simple fact.  
  Since 1960, Congress has acted 78 separate times to permanently raise, temporarily extend, or revise the definition of the debt limit – 49 times under Republican presidents and 29 times under Democratic presidents. The debt ceiling was raised 3 times under Trump.  
  Debt does not exist in a partisan, short-term vacuum. Republican policies have contributed heavily to the current national debt. It rose 8 trillion under Trump's administration.
  A budget negotiation (what the GOP is trying to leverage) has a process. Threatening the world economy over an outdated, arbitrary law is not part of it.
  
  Dems shouldn't budge an inch on this if it comes to it. There's no basis, and there's nothing to stop the GOP from asking for more concessions if given any.
