Extension on the suspension of national debt ceiling So I just want to make sure i got this right,

The national debt ceiling was suspended, i.e. the government can now freely spend until Dec.8, which they "say" was for providing $15bn in hurricane relief.

But lets face it, the treasury was running out of "extraordinary measures" to keep the debt below the ceiling, thus the extension. Source -> http://www.businessinsider.sg/us-debt-20-trillion-how-much-2017-9/?r=US&amp;IR=T

The debt increased by 317 billion. But that aside, I want to get into the economics fundamentals. What does this mean for the dollar?

So foreign debt is increased, I am assuming the USD is going to plummet if expectations of quantitative easing to pay off the debt increases?
Debt is between US govt and The Fed.

If the Fed reset the debt back to 0 and bail out the govt, nothing changes. The next debt epoch starts. 

Viscious if my understanding is correct. No other govt in the world has this freewheeling !!
