Woo-Hoo...! A $14.3 TRILLION federal debt limit...!

Senate approves raising federal debt ceiling by $1.9 trillion Chamber approves boost in the amount of debt the federal government can take out.

The bill, which passed 60 to 40, would establish the new limit at $14.3 trillion -- equal to about $45,000 for every American.
