Senate Faces Deadline to Raise Debt Ceiling Action
The Senate must act by Friday to prevent the debt limit from snapping to the permanent ceiling. Treasury Secretary Fowler warned of an “Out of Business” sign if Congress fails to approve, with current temporary ceilings at 336 billion and a 285 billion permanent limit starting Saturday. The House recently okayed a hike to 358 billion plus 7 billion after July 1, 1968, and the Senate plans swift action after addressing other measures, including a National Teachers Corps authorization that could lose 3.8 million dollars if not granted. In closing, a Norse myth reference to Valhalla ends the report.
