The U.S. Debt Limit: Questions and Answers

Jay M. Inbar — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 22:24:00 GMT

As August 2 approaches, you'll likely hear increasingly urgent debate over the nation's debt ceiling. That's the approximate date by which the Treasury estimates it will no longer be able to borrow under the current $14.3 trillion limit. Treasury officials have warned that if the Treasury can no longer borrow money, the U.S. might default on its existing obligations--in other words, be unable to make payments it already owes, whether those be for Treasury securities or government programs.

President Obama, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke have warned that not raising the debt limit would have severe consequences. Leaders of both parties have said that the issue must be addressed, and have put forward proposals for tying any increase to tackling the country's budget deficit.

If you are considering entering the world of franchising in New York, an important consideration is assessing the value of the business. All of the following factors either affect or help determine valuations of typical franchise operations in New York: 1.
