    TBF the debt ceiling is entirely about political theatre and has no bearing on inflationary pressures. The Republicans get to act like they’re tough on the deficit and wring sone concessions out, but the spending continues as usual. I think Trump just wants as few bureaucratic hurdles as possible so he can enact as many of his policy initiatives as possible. Pegging the ceiling to last the next four years means he’s not wasting half a legislative session on Republicans’ grandstanding.
