John,

Republicans have continuously used raising the debt ceiling as an
opportunity to threaten and extort concessions from Democrats.

It’s selfish, irresponsible, and very dangerous.

Fortunately, there is a simple way to end their hostage-taking tactics
once and for all: We can simply abolish the debt ceiling, which is just an
arbitrary limit set by Congress on the amount of funding that the United
States Treasury may borrow.

The debt ceiling can just be raised automatically, or abolished
altogether, as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has even suggested.

economy with a manufactured debt ceiling crisis.

Democracy for America is fighting to make government work better for all
of us -- and requiring a congressional debt ceiling vote simply doesn't do
that.

Republicans have already threatened to shut down the government once they
assume power in the U.S. House. They’ll continue holding the debt ceiling
hostage to push forward their agenda of cuts to Social Security and
Medicare.

It is clear we can't trust Republicans to value the full faith and credit
of the United States over their own political agenda. 

The bottom line is that we must take away Republicans' ability to threaten
economic collapse and do away with their hostage negotiation tactics.

telling Congress to abolish the debt ceiling.
