The Debt ceiling negotiations are no closer to a breakthrough. (Rollcall.com)

The United States debt limit has been reached again and now an intricately choreographed play ensues with well rehearsed rolls but, ultimately the ceiling will be raised. No member of Congress wants to be responsible for delaying grandma’s Social Security check that she now desperately clings to pay her ever increasing inflationary adjusted bills. Despite all the tumult that accompanies these negotiations, the World still looks to America and our Dollar for a sense of security and stability. Hopefully this latest round of debt ceiling shenanigans won’t endanger our venerated status.
