Congress backs budget deal to avert shutdown and default
Congressional leaders and the White House unite behind a budget and debt accord to end shutdown and default threats until after a new president takes office. Boehner plans to push the measure through as he exits, with Paul Ryan set to become speaker. The pact raises military spending, extends the debt ceiling to March 2017, and funds government for 2016 and 2017 while easing caps and addressing Social Security disability and Medicare premium concerns.
