There is something surreal and unnerving about the so-called “debt ceiling

on an increase in one’s debt limit are conducted between the borrower and
the lender. Only in Washington is a debt increase negotiated between two
groups of borrowers.
Actually, it’s more accurate to call them two groups of spenders. On the

portrayals of silliness, such as exaggerated, funny behavior, are used to
