65 Percent Of Americans Say Not Raising Debt Limit Will Affect Personal Finances | According to a new Pew poll, 65 percent of Americans worry that not meeting the Aug. 2 deadline to raise debt limit would affect their personal finances. “There is little difference across party lines in this view,” according to the survey. Americans are worried that government not being able to borrow any more would lead to the suspension of services and benefits that affect them personally. Unsurprisingly, this concern is higher among women, minorities, low-income Americans, and people over age 50.
