这些拖欠会加重灾难，并对我们国家的经济造成长远影响，尤其会减缓经济增长和增加失业！

An increase in Treasury rates would make it more costly for a family to buy a home, purchase a car or send a child to college," he said. "It would make it more expensive for an entrepreneur to borrow money to start a new business or invest in new products and equipment."

This one was a bit easy. Geithner and Bernanke are in the same boat. They want to cure the america economy. But with the ever more increasing dent which is shown on the big screen near the FED, every one can see that there is a problem. Repbulicans want to raise the cap if some siginificant cuts are done, Geithner wants to raise the cap without cut. That is the game between the two. And how it ends will definitely has an impact on the ameiricans as well as other countries.

U.S. government bond market, the risk of default on the surface is calm, the fact that some senior officials are worried. Due to defaulted or missed payments will not only increase the cost of borrowing the U.S. government, but also to businesses and local governments in the United States once a crisis

It's more likely a threat to the congress.it's just a temporary measures to raise the debt limite.The US government must find more efficient and systematic way to cut the deficit.otherwise they have to raise the debt limit again and again.maybe it's what the US congress is thinking about.

Americans are always borrowing money. More borrowing may increase activities that the government considers to be economic growth, but they are measuring the wrong things. The country and the people borrow money to live,and The economic crisis by the people all over the world to bear the consequences .

I am curious that how the US government decides the debt ceiling. If they can raise the debt limits just as they wish, doesn’t the potential default risk become larger?
