We are about to hit that debt ceiling again, when technically we run out of debt ability, and Janet Yellen will be forced to suspend sales of the “G Fund”, although the law provides that no one will lose any money.
Just thought I would toss that out, so you aren’t surprised next week, when you hear about it. It’s no loss to federal employees, IF they end up getting a deal on a new debt ceiling.

Yellen outlines to Congress emergency measures on debt limit

WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Congress on Friday that she will start taking emergency measures next week to keep the government from an unprecedented default on the national debt, warning that a default would cause “irreparable harm to the U.S. economy and the livelihoods of all Americans.”
In a letter to House and Senate leaders, Yellen said her actions will buy time until Congress can pass legislation to either raise the debt limit or suspend it again for a period of time.
The debt limit has been suspended for the past two years but will go back into effect on July 31. The total debt subject to the limit currently stands at $28.4 trillion.
Yellen said her first move on July 30 will be to suspend the sale of state and local government securities, which are used by some local jurisdictions to meet some of their financing needs but increase the level of debt held by the federal government.
