Alan Silverleib from CNN has written a very informative article about the current battle over America's Debt Ceiling. He takes us back through history, when the debt ceiling was considered a helpful tool for Congress to manage government spending. He points to all of the times it has been raised (74 times since 1962), and how each time there was not much fuss. It is a great dissection of the hyper-partisan atmosphere currently enveloping our political system.
