1* How closely have you followed news stories about
the raising the debt ceiling?
2* As part of legislation to raise the debt ceiling,
should congress and the president raise taxes?
3* How would you rate the way President Obama has
handled the debt ceiling issue….excellent, good, fair or poor?
4* If the debt
ceiling is not raised, the federal government will default on some of its loan
obligations because it will not be able to make interest payments on the
federal debt. If the government defaults on its debt, would that be good for the
economy, bad for the economy, or have no impact on the economy?
5* Which is more dangerous in the short-term: the government defaulting on
the federal debt or the failure to significantly cut government spending?
