Join the Debate on Think the Vote! The U.S. government is constrained by a debt ceiling—first created in 1917 by Congress—which limits the amount of debt it can borrow to pay its obligations. Recently, Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen notified Congress that government spending was on track to surpass the debt ceiling—which is currently set at over 31 trillion dollars—this summer. Congress and Americans began debating over whether lawmakers should raise the debt ceiling or not. What do your students think?
