Latest Congressional Can-Kick Delays Debt Ceiling Doom Until March | ZeroHedge

You'll never guess what happened…

That's right, folks! Our wise and benevolent lawmakers have once again averted debt ceiling disaster – after lawmakers in the House and Senate reached a bipartisan spending deal that will extend two major deadlines and keep the government operating … for six more weeks!

Until we get to do this all over again.

According to NBC News (so who knows), "The deal would keep the government funded until March, buying legislators more time to craft longer-term, agency-specific spending bills, following the agreement last weekend to set the overall spending level for fiscal year 2024 at $1.59 trillion."

"The bipartisan topline appropriations agreement clears the way for Congress to act over the next few weeks in order to maintain important funding priorities for the American people and avoid a government shutdown," said Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries – the top Democrats in both chambers.
