GOP Move Aims At Lower Debt Ceiling
Washington House Republicans back a substitute bill setting the national debt ceiling at 306 billion dollars, instead of the 308 billion proposed by the administration. They say it would force 2 billion dollars in spending cuts for the new fiscal year. Administration allies warn the lower limit could require a late year session or fiscal juggling to cover federal costs. The current temporary ceiling is 300 billion, set to drop to 285 on July 1, with actual debt around 295 billion.
