*[[United States Federal Budget]] |
|||
**The [[United States Congress]] avoided a government shutdown after both chambers swiftly passed a short-term, two month spending bill that holds spending static except for $6.3 billion to resettle [[Afghan]] allies and $29 billion to aid communities recovering from major disasters. The [[United_States_House_of_Representatives|House]] passed the bill in a 254-175 vote, just a few hours after the [[United_States_Senate|Senate]] approved the bill 65-35. The bill does nothing to address the $28 trillion [[National_debt_of_the_United_States|national debt]] [[History_of_United_States_debt_ceiling|ceiling default]] expected to hit in less than 20 days.
