:The history can get complicated rapidly; the nation existed for 130+ years prior to a ceiling, and ''why'' certain legislators and constituencies felt the need need for a ceiing. This gets into a discussion how the Civil War & Panama Canals were financed, for example. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 19:45, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

::As I said, this isn't my area of expertise, so I'm not completely up on the history of the topic, and I was just presenting my first(ish) impressions of the article. I dredged up some of my admittedly foggy memories, and thought having the article explain that this isn't the first, or the only, debt crisis to occur in the nation's history might be a good idea. --[[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 00:44, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

:::This is certainly one of the biggest in many years; the 1917 events that led to the law should be incorporated into U.S. involvement in [[World War I]]; in the mid 1930s, paying off the debt was directly related to creation of the [[Neutrality Act]]. It's unfortunate we're writing it on the fly, because it does need much more serious treatment. And this issue may not disappear anytime soon. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 13:17, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
