Carson backs Nazi and slavery examples despite debate risk

Congress Leaders Back Budget and Debt Deal to Avert Shutdown
Congress and the White House agreed on a budget and debt deal aimed at lifting the threat of government shutdowns and default until after the next president takes office. Boehner plans to push the agreement through the House as he exits, leaving Paul Ryan to lead. The accord raises military spending, delays the debt limit until March 2017, and funds government through 2016 and 2017 with $80 billion in new spending offset by cuts and revenue moves. It also averts Social Security disability shortfalls and reduces impending Medicare premium increases for about 15 million beneficiaries.
