  issuing new debt once the limit has
  been reached.

  control the federal purse

  check their debt borrowings
But you can always increase it

IF THEY DON’T RAISE THE
     DEBT CEILING
• Decrease in Expenses

• Effect on Stock Market

• Sky High mortgage and Interest rate

• Treasury Bond Collapse
BUT WHAT IF THEY RAISE
  THE DEBT CEILING
Dollar weakens
Imports
• Imports become dearer.

• End up paying more money for same quantity
  of goods purchased.

• Pace of economic growth rate slows down.
Exports
• Exports become cheaper.

• Importer country ends up buying same
  amount of goods for a lesser price.

• As a result of increase in exports, the trade
  deficit might decrease.
INFLATION

• As imports get dearer, inflation increases.

• Prices of goods increases.
INTEREST RATES
• As a result of increase in inflation, the interest
  rates will go up.

• Investor confidence will go down.

• As a result the investment in the economy will
  go down.
CAPITAL FLIGHT
• Flow of funds or investments from develop to
  developing countries.

• Increases unemployment in the country.
CAPITAL FORMATION
• Investments and capital formation are
  positively correlated.

• As investments go down rate of capital
  formation goes down.

• Hence government needs money to initiate
  investments and growth in the economy.
