Monica Guerra anticipates that the debt ceiling fight in approximately six months will likely lead to increased government spending, regardless of the political party in power. She predicts a suspension of the debt ceiling rather than a raise, which would still involve a vote and potentially demands for more funding.
“The debt ceiling fight— I'm sorry to bring this up, but the debt ceiling fight will be taking place in about six months' time. And if the House goes back to a democratic control and flips, everyone is going to have to get something to raise the debt ceiling, which means— Everyone is going to be asking for more funding and we are going to be spending a lot more.”
“Or suspend the debt ceiling. I think that's where we land. We're going to end up with the suspension so nobody has to raise it.”
