You can quit worrying about whether the U.S. will default on its debt. A debt-limit deal has been approved by the U.S. House and Senate, and President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill into law soon. |
While some senators aren't happy with the deal's take on defense spending, work requirements around the supplemental nutritional assistance program, IRS funding, student debt and easier energy permitting, to name a few, everyone wins with a debt ceiling increase.
