Debt ceiling struggle slows Kennedy tax push
Washington AP reports raising the national debt limit remains a painful annual job for Congress as Democrats seek to limit the rise while pursuing President Kennedy's tax program. The House Ways and Means Committee shelved action for a month amid debates over deficits and GOP leverage. The debt stands near 302.5 billion with a ceiling of 308 billion set to drop to 285 billion by July 1 absent legislation, while a further raise to potentially 325 billion awaits tax decisions.
