The U.S. today will reach its statutory debt limit of $31.4T, prompting a series of extraordinary measures to avoid a default on government debt. Looking to conserve capital at the federal level, the Treasury will start withholding investments from retirement funds for some government employees, while other measures will take weeks or months to kick in. "Failure to meet the governments obligations would cause irreparable harm to the U.S. economy, the livelihoods of all Americans and global financial stability," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen declared. "I respectfully urge Congress to act promptly to protect the full faith and credit of the United States."
