Update - this market has been added to the Manifold showcase and the Manifold team have added a M$10,000 liquidity subsidy to the market.

This means that there's a lot of money to be made if the current odds are wrong, or to whoever is the first to realise that events are changing the odds. It also means that you can make much bigger bets without moving the odds by as much!


Experts and government sources agree that the "x date" where the US government cannot pay what it owes without raising, abolishing or circumventing the debt ceiling is coming up in the coming months.

At the time of writing, Manifold users agree that the debt ceiling will amost certainly be raised - see Will the US debt ceiling be raised in 2023?YES

This is one of a series of markets as to when in 2023 (if at all) the debt ceiling will be raised:

Will the US debt ceiling be raised by the end of May 2023?NO

Will the US debt ceiling be raised before June 10?YES

Will the US debt ceiling be raised before June 20?YES

Will the US debt ceiling be raised by the end of June 2023? (M$10,000 subsidy)YES

Will the US debt ceiling be raised by the end of July 2023?YES

Will the US debt ceiling be raised by the end of August 2023?YES

Will the US debt ceiling be raised by the end of September 2023?YES

Will the US debt ceiling be raised by the end of October 2023?YES

Will the US debt ceiling be raised by the end of November 2023?YES

If the debt ceiling is raised or abolished (ie. raised to infinity), this market resolves to YES.

If the debt ceiling is circumvented (eg. by minting a trillion dollar coin) or the government decides to ignore it and continue issuing debt past the debt ceiling limit, that does not count as raising it.

If the government hits the debt ceiling, circumvents it or defaults on the debt but still raises the debt ceiling by the end of June, this market resolves to YES.

Word on the street is it will pass Congress & Senate and be on Bidens Desk to sign on or by Monday June 5th 2023.

The only hold up are those in the House Freedom Caucus, but by my count, low end being 12 members, high end being 48 members, the bill would still pass.

218 Votes are needed to pass the House.

There are 213 Democrats and 222 Republicans. You only need 5 republicans to vote YES.

The Freedom Caucus members will have the loudest voice in media/news saying no no no no, but their votes are not needed for it to pass the House.

@SimonGrayson My Guess would be 192 Dem YES + 157 Rep YES = 349 ; That 350 vote market should see good action!

1y

So far there are 38 GOP Members stating publicly they will vote NO. Seems the Freedom Caucus GOP Members are still the biggest voice against the passage, while AOC and 6-7 other progressive Dems have said they will also vote NO.
With "tag-alongs" that would be about 66 NO Votes from each side combined. Still plenty of YES votes available for it to pass.

My revised prediction is: 320 YES / 104 NO / 11 Abstain

Passes the House.
