Senate Reaches Deal On Shutdown And Debt Limit
October 16, 2013
Leaders in the Senate have crafted a last-minute deal to reopen the federal government and avoid a default likely to have harmful effects on the global economy.
The deal would keep the government running through January 15 and raise the nation’s borrowing limit enough to put off the risk of default until February 7.
The Republican-led House intends to vote on the plan, a leadership aide said on Wednesday.
With the clock ticking toward a Thursday deadline, the aide said it is unclear if the House will have the votes to give final congressional approval to the bipartisan Senate proposal.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had been working on a bipartisan proposal that could pass both houses of Congress Wednesday and be signed by President Barack Obama by Thursday.
Thursday is the deadline when the U.S. Treasury Department has said it will reach its borrowing limit and risk default. Financial markets could plunge without a deal.
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said Wednesday it would be idiocy for the nation’s leaders to allow the United States to default on its bills.
