Introduction: This paper will be about how the Debt Ceilings from nations around the world can affect international management, Hospitality, and Aruba. The paper will look at the United States Debt Limit. From the beginning of the United States, up until 1917, Congress would vote and decide on each time they would issue bonds or make deals with countries that would leave the United States in debt. Since then Congress has set limits to this Governmental debt known as debt limits, and has also since then passed over their limit multiple times over. This paper will discuss how these debt limits may affect international managers in the future, while showing examples of past debt crisis situations. The paper will try to answer the following questions • What is a debt ceiling? • What are the potential dangers? • What can be done to try to solve these issues? • How does this relate to international management? There will be two main parts with subsections under each. The first part will cover mostly the history of the debt limit mainly in the United States. Then it will look at the most recent debt ceiling that was passed in the United States, and its possible consequences and possible solutions. The second section will cover the relevance of the topic to International Management and Aruba. Relevance to International Management: When speaking about debt limits, usually we mean the debt of governmental bodies. These debts although not belonging to International Managers, may affect the ways that they look and/or work their jobs. Depending on if a manager is deciding on a new location or already in a location they may look at this in different ways. As mentioned before main problem found in the research was a default on debt.

Sovereign lending, throughout history, has been marked by occurrences of partial default and repudiation by governments of all kind; from medieval princes to dictators to democratic regimes. In the 1970s lending to lesser-developed countries led to the rescheduling and partial defaults in the 1980s. Even the sustainability of the debt of nations such as Belgium, Canada, Italy and even the United States is not free from suspect.
When you get to the point where debt becomes too much you begin to search for a way out. There are many different options to get rid of their debt; one option is the debt snowball. This debt relief option sounds more unusual than it really is.

The Federal Budget Deficit is the amount of money that the government loses each year by spending more than they get back in taxes. The Federal Debt is the accumilation of the federal deficit over the years. Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge are the onky presidents to ever reduce the federal debt. Today the federal debt is about $21.16 trillion dollars.
When we talk about a debt limit, most people think of their credit card limit. The limit is set so you cannot overspend. It is the opposite when referring to the nation's debt limit, it is suppose to allow more borrowing power to the government (Przybyla). Currently, the nation's debt is "$16.7 trillion" (Przybyla). The recent government shutdown was because Republicans did not want to increase the debt ceiling (Przybyla). The fear of our country being downgraded for not paying our debts was a huge concern and both parties were urged to come to an agreement (Przybyla). The Democrats and President Obama would not negotiate so the Republicans conceded to a point, only temporarily extending the budget and the debt limit (Przybyla). What are the positions of the Democrats and the Republicans on the debt limit, and which side do you mostly agree with?
