YOU SAID IT: Should Congress Raise the National Debt Ceiling?

Perry Hall community members shared their opinions.

Congress has until Aug. 2 to reach a compromise on the national debt ceiling. After that, without the ability to borrow more money, any number of government services could go unfunded.

Some Republicans refuse to support any increase in the debt ceiling, while others will only agree to a budget plan without increased taxes. Some Democrats say they will only agree to a plan that raises the debt ceiling and raises taxes for some Americans.

Patch asked members of the Perry Hall community outside the what they thought about the recent debate, if they were worried about it and how it affected them.
