debt limits
Statutory spending boundaries
Debt limits are caps on how much money a government or organization can borrow.
In the United States, the debt ceiling is a statutory limit on federal borrowing that Congress must periodically raise to avoid default: Congress voted to suspend the debt limit until 2025.
Debt limit debates often become political standoffs over spending priorities.
