CAI Community:Simon says we're stuck with the debt ceiling (Encore)

This episode originally came out in October 2021.

Showdowns over the debt ceiling are CAI Communitylike football — both are quintessentially American games.

It wasn't always this way, says Simon Rabinovitch of The Economist. The debt limit was originally supposed to make it easier for the government to spend money. Today on the show, we go from the original debt ceiling to "debt brakes" and "debt anchors."
