Democratic senators are scrambling to find a way to avert a potential debt default as soon as next week amid a high-stakes standoff with Republicans -- and are privately discussing whether it's possible to change Senate rules so the borrowing limit can be raised by a simple majority vote, according to multiple sources at closed-door sessions.
One of the fiercest opponents to changing the filibuster rules, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, insisted on Tuesday that Congress wouldn't let the country default, though it's still highly uncertain if he and 49 other Democrats would vote to change the rules even temporarily. President Joe Biden called the prospect of Democrats adopting a carve out of the filibuster rules"a real possibility" on Tuesday.
Just do whatever it takes so veterans, disabled, and elderly don’t get hurt by this!
Screw the debt ceiling increase, let us default and then maybe then our so call legislators will see the damage they have done and will start doing their job and stop trying to keep it. They will see a tremendous public uprising
I’m about to start popping some popcorn to watch this show. This collapse has been a long time coming

They get to go in alone, and will own this mess.
