WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Mientras se acerca otra ronda de arriesgadas medidas sobre el techo de la deuda el 1 de marzo, el senador Jeff Merkley de Oreg\u00f3n y el senador Tim Kaine de Virginia presentaron hoy nueva legislaci\u00f3n destinada a poner fin al abuso del techo de la deuda por parte del Congreso, us\u00e1ndolo como reh\u00e9n pol\u00edtico. El Proteger a nuestros ciudadanos de la extorsi\u00f3n imprudente de nuestra deuda y de t\u00e1cticas irresponsables (Proteger nuestro CR\u00c9DITO) Ley <\/i>de 2019 <\/i>cambiar\u00eda la forma en que se eleva el techo de la deuda, lo que permitir\u00eda que el poder ejecutivo inicie un proceso para aumentar el techo de la deuda sujeto a una anulaci\u00f3n del Congreso.<\/p>\n
La legislaci\u00f3n ayudar\u00eda a prevenir situaciones pol\u00edticas arriesgadas como las de los enfrentamientos de 2011 y 2013, cuando algunos en el Congreso amenazaron con obligar a Estados Unidos a incumplir su deuda a menos que se cumplieran demandas pol\u00edticas separadas. Durante el enfrentamiento de 2011, Estados Unidos estuvo peligrosamente cerca de una cesaci\u00f3n de pagos y el mercado de valores sufri\u00f3 su mayor ca\u00edda desde la crisis financiera de 2008. La agencia de calificaci\u00f3n Standard & Poor's rebaj\u00f3 la calificaci\u00f3n crediticia de Estados Unidos por primera vez en la historia.<\/p>\n
La idea de que el presidente aumente el techo de la deuda, sujeto a un voto de desaprobaci\u00f3n del Congreso, fue propuesta originalmente por el entonces l\u00edder de la minor\u00eda, Mitch McConnell, en 2012.<\/p>\n
\n"Un incumplimiento de la deuda tiene el poder de destruir nuestra econom\u00eda, y es exactamente por eso que debemos asegurarnos de que nunca suceda", dijo Merkley. \u201cEl uso del techo de deuda como reh\u00e9n pol\u00edtico nos ha llevado m\u00e1s cerca que nunca del default. Continuar por el camino en el que estamos ahora es todo riesgo y ninguna recompensa. Podemos (y debemos) reformar este proceso de manera que se mantenga la supervisi\u00f3n del Congreso y al mismo tiempo se desarme el techo de la deuda. Hacerlo es el mejor y m\u00e1s seguro camino a seguir para nuestra econom\u00eda y para el pueblo estadounidense\u201d.<\/p>\n
"Jugar juegos pol\u00edticos con el techo de la deuda da\u00f1a nuestra econom\u00eda y nuestra calificaci\u00f3n crediticia", dijo Kaine. "La Ley de Protecci\u00f3n de nuestro Cr\u00e9dito protege a los estadounidenses del riesgo de incumplimiento sin darle al presidente poder ilimitado para aumentar el l\u00edmite de la deuda".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
El Protege nuestra Ley de CR\u00c9DITO <\/i>reformar\u00eda el proceso de aumento del techo de la deuda haciendo los siguientes cambios:<\/p>\n
\n
- Requerir\u00eda que el Presidente inicie un proceso, antes del comienzo del a\u00f1o fiscal, para determinar el monto de deuda necesario para ese a\u00f1o y proponer un nuevo l\u00edmite de deuda basado en el monto de gasto autorizado y asignado por el Congreso.<\/li>\n
- El tope de la deuda se elevar\u00eda al l\u00edmite propuesto a menos que, dentro de los 15 d\u00edas legislativos, el Congreso apruebe y el Presidente firme una resoluci\u00f3n conjunta de desaprobaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n
- Si, durante el a\u00f1o, la deuda federal se acerca a $250 mil millones del l\u00edmite, el Presidente deber\u00e1 presentar otra certificaci\u00f3n por escrito, explicando qu\u00e9 impuls\u00f3 la necesidad de deuda adicional y proponiendo un nuevo l\u00edmite de deuda para el resto del a\u00f1o fiscal, sujeto a la mismo proceso de desaprobaci\u00f3n del Congreso.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
