  • When Republicans won unified control of government during the November elections, they also won the responsibility to address the country's debt limit after the current suspension expires on Jan. 1. Lawmakers will have a few months of wiggle room thanks to accounting maneuvers to broker a deal before the country would default

The article from MSN discusses the looming issue of the U.S. debt limit, which, if not addressed, could precipitate a global financial crisis in 2025. It highlights the political dynamics at play, with Republicans in Congress tasked with negotiating terms to raise or suspend the debt ceiling. The piece outlines the potential economic repercussions of failing to lift the debt ceiling, including defaulting on U.S. debt obligations, which could lead to skyrocketing interest rates, a plummeting stock market, and widespread economic instability. It also mentions the historical context of debt ceiling debates, noting that while brinkmanship has often been used as leverage, the consequences of not reaching an agreement could be catastrophic. The article emphasizes the urgency for bipartisan cooperation to prevent such a crisis, detailing the economic strategies and political maneuvers being considered to manage the situation.
