I hate to see it raised but the ramifications of not doing so outweigh increased debt.

Yes, IF we start to pay it down aggressively now. If not, the outcome is exactly the same and all the more permanent once we are cut off from borrowing instead of deciding to reduce the debt on our own.

No, we can't cut off our heads to spite our nose...we must raise the ceiling and enact meaningful debt reduction at the same time.
