With the deadline to address that temporary suspension upon us, it was urgent that Congress take action to avoid the United States’ first debt default in history,” Congressman Al Green said. “The debt limit amount has been modified 98 times since 1945, including for increases and suspensions. It was necessary to modify it once again to maintain a healthy economy, as well as our country’s reputation as a trustworthy borrower.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
