1*
How closely have you followed news stories about the raising the debt ceiling?
2* How likely is it
that the debt ceiling will be raised before the government begins defaulting on
its debts?
3* Should Congress
and the president raise the debt ceiling so that the government can pay for the
commitments it has already made?
4* Should any deal
to raise the debt ceiling include long-term reforms to reduce the deficit by cutting
the cost of entitlement programs including Social Security and Medicare?
5* What is the best approach for dealing with the debt ceiling
issue? Should the debt ceiling be raised without any significant spending cuts,
should it be raised as part of a deal to reduce the long-term cost of
entitlement programs, or should the debt ceiling remain unchanged so that the
government will default on its debt?
