TL;DR Summary

President Joe Biden appears to be in no rush to try and kill off the debt ceiling, despite his interest in permanently getting rid of it. Aides say the topic isn’t coming up at all, and the prevailing attitude is that the White House’s time and effort are better spent on more politically pressing topics. Progressives are worried that the president is setting himself up for another dangerous round of brinkmanship in a few years. Democrats have introduced a bill to permanently end the debt ceiling debate by putting the onus on Congress to pass a resolution of disapproval if Treasury continues paying its bills over the limit.
