Senate Passes Sweeping Budget Deal

“The Senate voted 67-28 to pass a $2.7 trillion budget deal Thursday that would suspend the debt ceiling through 2021, sending the package to President Trump’s desk after the House passed it last week,” Axios reports.

“The Congressional Budget Office projected that the national debt would reach ‘unprecedented levels’ in the next 30 years should laws remain the same. It exceeded $22 trillion in February, and the federal deficit has grown 23% this fiscal year.”
