Some key events that you should monitor about the development of the debt ceiling issue are:
- The date when the US hits the debt limit, which is estimated to be **no earlier than the third quarter of 2023**¹⁴.
- The date when the Treasury Department runs out of **extraordinary measures** to keep paying its bills, which could add several weeks to the deadline¹⁴.
- The date when Congress reaches a deal on raising or suspending the debt ceiling, which could involve negotiations, compromises, or political brinkmanship²⁶.
- The date when President Biden signs a bill into law that resolves the debt ceiling crisis, which could be before or after the deadline²⁶.
- The impact of the debt ceiling crisis on various government programs like Social Security and Medicare, which could face delays or disruptions in payments if a default occurs³.
