In about 7 hours we will know if the House will have a vote or not.

It will most likely have a vote, but we don't know how WH will react.

To clarify, the debt ceiling is when the U.S. Treasury will no longer have the authority to borrow money by issuing bonds. However, it will still have around $30 billion in cash to continue financing its obligation.
 Quoting: Luisport


$30 billion? How many days or weeks will a $30 billion buy, before the SHTF?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48437807


About 8 days.

Starting Oct.25th, the Treasury cannot pay all obligations.Starting Nov.1, most obligations cannot be paid.

Re: UPDATE: BOEHNER, CANTOR, MCCARTHY SAID TO VOTE YES FOR SENATE DEAL BILL!!!
Even if Congress reaches a last-minute or deadline-busting deal to avert a federal default and fully reopen the government, elected officials are likely to return to their grinding brand of brinkmanship — perhaps repeatedly.

House-Senate talks are barely touching the underlying causes of debt-and-spending stalemates that pushed the country close to economic crises in 2011, last December and again this month.

Late Tuesday, the GOP-controlled House dropped efforts to craft a bill to raise the debt limit and fully open the government. House members will wait for the Democratic-controlled Senate to act, which could push a final resolution past Thursday. That's when administration officials say federal borrowing powers will be tapped out.

Still, many in Congress expect a resolution, even if it's a few days late. At best, however, lawmakers and the White House will agree to fund the government and raise the debt limit for only a few months. They also will call for yet another bipartisan effort to address the federal de

 Quoting: Face Palmer


Even if we miss the October 17 debt ceiling, it won't be the end of the world.

Many economists have repeatedly warned that any default would come at the end of the month at the earliest.

To clarify, the debt ceiling is when the U.S. Treasury will no longer have the authority to borrow money by issuing bonds. However, it will still have around $30 billion in cash to continue financing its obligation. It's only after that cash runs out that we have to start worrying.

This understanding may explain why the markets continue to be so calm.

About 1 and a half hour of doom, the smallest one being the unknown, even if the debt ceiling is increased (the bond holders reaction is unknown), to plain Armageddon if the debt ceiling is voted after Oct.16th or not voted at all for like 3-4 weeks.

 Quoting: Luisport


Like the one yesterday.


The one yesterday was also a bipartisan one.



Since I love the American people, I hope that the U.S. defaults asap.Default on 17 trillions today or on 20 trillions later, or 30 trillions, because the default is inevitable.

The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan
