@Michael98336785 Answer to your question is in this article. Basically, Congress needs to spend less. That's done in the budget process. The debt ceiling is not the place to debate the budget. https://t.co/erpHYWiR34
@KimberlyAmadeo What do you think the implications are of the Debt Ceiling being increased? In the short term I would think it is good but in the longer term are they not just letting themselves dig a deeper hole?

U.S. raised their Debt ceiling today... In the short term probably a good thing to cover interest payments, but there is still the long term issue of rising debt levels relative to GDP
Rising debt is an issue. In the past there have been proposals to reduce it and one of the most common proposals is to reduce military spending. I believe this is still the most relevant solution and needs to be explored as a compromise further. #em203Research#em203Mueller

This website gives a great overview of the debt crisis and a timeline of events that brought it about as well a solutions and a discussion about the differences between the U.S. crisis and other countries. #em203Mueller#em203Research
After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon). While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!
Things Trump didn’t mention in his campaign kickoff:
-Climate change
-Tens of millions live paycheck to paycheck
-$1.5 trillion student debt crisis
-Our infrastructure is crumbling
-Minimum wage hasn’t been raised in 10 years
-40,000 people die from gun violence each year
@EM203SGill#EM203Problems You could try to explore where the issues of mental health come from in children. I wonder if our early childhood friends have a lasting effect on our mental health depending on how those relationships turned out.
@SamEm203#em203problems Nice problem map. You could try to explore why car manufacturers have been slower to adopt EVs even though Tesla has proven they can work at scale.
@EM203RileyL#em203problems One issue you could look into is where the money comes from that is used in political corruption. It would be interesting to track what I assume is a circle of money flow in and then back out of the system.
@EM203PatrickC#em203problems One thing you can look at is why diseases can become immune. I think I've heard that this can stem from people not getting vaccinated but I don't fully remember. Could be a cool topic to explore.
@em203kbattglia#em203problems I think you could look at the role that advertisements have in obesity. We often see extremely fit people in Mcdonalds commercials, and fast-food is advertised everywhere.
