The best way to solve problems created by the debt ceiling is to get rid of it, writes economist Steve Pressman.
Editor's note: The US government maxed out its national credit card in March and has been moving money around ever since to avoid running out of cash.

Economist Steve Pressman explains why we have a ceiling and why it's time to abolish it.
