The debt ceiling had been frozen at about $19.84 trillion since mid-March, and the Treasury Department was forced to use "extraordinary measures" to prevent borrowing from exceeding that level. But with Trump's signature on Friday, the debt ceiling was suspended ... Trump criticized the growing national debt under the Obama administration when he was campaigning for president, and talked as president about the need to rein in the debt and spending ... But last week, Trump indicated he could be open to the idea of getting rid of the ceiling entirely. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
