They have raised the debt limit over 100 times, so this is not exactly new ground that we are covering politically. Furthermore, the ceiling is not indexed to anything so it is kind of an artificial number to begin with.

That being said, I think it is a good thing that politicians are using this as a method to move closer to balancing the budget and reducing the deficit. Just sucks that they are going about it in such a haphazard way.
