Repeal it, and cut entitlements.
interesting. I think politicians have too much fun vilifying the other side over the ceiling to ever consider repealing it!
Hi John. Thanks for your interest. This article implies that repeal could be filibustered:

But it also implies that the Senate could vote to eliminate a filibuster simply for one vote: to repeal a filibuster!
Which illustrates well that the filibuster rules are attempts to “tie one’s own hands,” which ain’t easy!
All the best,

I agree that the debt ceiling should be repealed. Is this a bill that can pass the Senate with a simple majority or does it have to overcome a filibuster?
