Gene Sperling, director of the National Economic Council and President Obama’s economic adviser, said : “A long-term extension of the debt limit would be better for the economy.”
Sperling is suggesting that Obama “would be open to a short-term increase” in the debt ceiling to save the US economy.”
Sperling said: “Longer is better for economic certainty and jobs, but it is ultimately up to them. There has never been a period where you have a serious faction or a serious strategy by one political party … to use the threat of default as the main tactic in extracting policy.”

Even new fake money from the FRB cannot outshine the fact that the US is indebted to the FRB for an estimated $17 trillion . . . and counting.
Jack Lew, Secretary of the US Treasury, stated that the federal government will not be able to pay back its debt and that the debt ceiling should be raised indefinitely.
Experts are blaming “the dysfunction in Washington” to explain the fear in the marketplace.
