Is there a drop dead date for the resolution of the "debt limit"?

I think it’s somewhat hard to nail down the exact date, but what is the current estimate?

They’ve always managed to keep paying social security but I can’t help feel a bit concerned

1. I think the estimate is that bad things start June 1

2. Yellen on CNBC : Default by 5-28. That's the last I saw.

3. Depends on how fast the IRS processes refunds

Fun fact - a huge amount of money going out right now is tax refunds.

I believe they have managed to fill some of the employee shortages they had, and are moving a little faster than expected this year.

5. Idea - hold off on IRS refunds and blame Republicans

7. That's going to happen anyway

I was in way before the deadline and haven't got mine yet.

I believe it is likely a lot IRS refunds will be delayed if the shit hits the fan.

4. I share your concern ....

but believe that the Repubs will cave at the last minute.

6. Won't the anticipation roil The Market

weeks ahead?

The due date will be the period after the sentence.

8. I think it's when the economy crashes, we all starve, and drop dead.

9. It depends upon how much revenue comes in. I read today if

there is enough to make it through June 15th when quarterly taxes come in then we should be good into August.
