Kingston Barber is a senior at White Station High continuing his campaign of terror into his third year of The Scroll. Besides writing for The Scroll, he enjoys running cross country, writing stories and poems, and going on long drives in his car -- though he probably won’t have much time for any of these hobbies because he’s voluntarily murdering himself with 6 AP’s. The only thing that outweighs his love for The Scroll is his love for pasta, so he hopes to have an exciting year writing just as many articles as he devours delicious bowls of noodles.

Thursday, Oct. 14, Biden signs off on a $480 billion increase to the nation’s debt ceiling, staving off a government shutdown until Dec. 3. While raising the debt ceiling is usually a simple process, the political agendas surrounding this year’s vote have made the process much more controversial.

What happens when the money runs out?
