美国出现债务违约的可能

Senate Republicans block measure to fund government, stave off U.S. default

The most urgent deadline is midnight Thursday, at which point Congress must adopt a measure to fund the government or some federal agencies and operations will shutter starting Friday morning. And lawmakers also must act before mid-October to raise the debt ceiling, or they could risk a first-ever default, potentially destabilizing global markets.

In the hours before the Monday evening vote, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) staked his party’s position — that Republicans are not willing to vote for any measure that raises or suspends the debt ceiling, even if they have no intentions of shutting down the government in the process. GOP lawmakers say raising the borrowing limit, which allows the country to pay its bills, would enable Biden and his Democratic allies to pursue trillions in additional spending and other policy changes they do not support.

共和党表示不会同意任何提高债务上限的措施，认为这只会给拜登和民主党更多搞事的钱。看看最后会不会和解。如果真硬杠到底（10月中旬），那就只能债务违约了。

之前债务上限之类都是演戏扯皮，但这次像是要玩真的了。
