The Honorable Mike Johnson
Speaker
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Mr. Speaker:
I write to keep you apprised of actions the Treasury Department is taking in regard to the debt limit. In my letter of December 27, 2024, I noted that the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 suspended the statutory debt limit through January 1, 2025, and established a new limit effective January 2, and I informed you that Treasury expected to reach the new limit between January 14 and January 23. This letter serves to notify you, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 8348(l)(2), of the extraordinary measures that Treasury will begin using on January 21.
Am Dienstag ist die Schuldengrenze erreicht.
