BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Lew warns Congress: We Will Hit Debt Ceiling in October

Lew said in a letter to Speaker John Boehner released Monday that the government is running out of accounting maneuvers it has used to avoid hitting the $16.7 trillion borrowing limit. He pressed Congress to act so Treasury can keep paying the government’s bills.

Lew said it’s impossible for Treasury to predict exactly when borrowing limit will be reached. But he warns that if action isn’t taken soon, the government could be left with $50 billion in cash by mid-October. He says that wouldn’t be enough to cover Social Security payments, military personnel salaries, Medicare and other programs for an “extended period.”
