Debt deal: was there a better path for lawmakers
The debate over the debt limit accord pits Heritage Foundation leader Kevin Roberts against editorialists, with Cruz mocking the deal for offering Democrats significant gains. Provisions include a 2024 nondefense spending cap at 704 billion, clawing back unspent COVID funds, and work requirements for some aid recipients. Critics question long term spending, while supporters call it a GOP victory easing a two year ceiling lift. The outcome remains uncertain as the measure faces final approval and potential changes.
