Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Wednesday that if the $16.394 trillion current legal limit on the federal government's debt must be raised in the next few months by another $2.4 trillion, "We'll raise it."
That would set the debt limit at $18.794 trillion.
"But will you support raising it by another $2.4 trillion?"
"If it has to be raised, we'll raise it," he said.
