pSometime in the next 30 to 60nbsp;days the federal government will reach the legal limit on its ability to borrow, setting up the next potential budget crisis in Washington. Unfortunately, much of what we are being told about the debt limit and the upcoming fight is simply untrue. Cato scholar a href=https://www.cato.org/people/michael-tannerMichael D. Tanner/a argues that while failure to raise the debt limit would not be anbsp;good thing, worse would be anbsp;failure to take meaningful action to reduce the debt, federal spending, and the growth of government.
