On May 28, according to local time, US President Biden said in a speech that he had reached a final agreement with House Speaker McCarthy on raising the debt ceiling and called on Congress to approve the agreement as soon as possible.

Biden said that reaching a debt ceiling agreement was an important step forward: “This agreement averted the worst of the crisis” and “eliminated the risk of catastrophic default.” He strongly urged the House of Representatives and the Senate to pass the agreement.

The proposed deal has now been published on the House of Commons website. It projects that non-defense government spending will stay the same for two years and then increase by 1% by 2025.

There will be no major changes to Medicaid health coverage, and the proposed deal fully funds medical care for veterans.

Energy licensing legislation would be streamlined to speed approval times for new projects – a reform Republicans are pushing. Unused Covid relief funds will be withdrawn in the deal, another Republican request.

Several age changes are proposed for a government program that provides food assistance to people with low or no income.

McCarthy said Sunday that more than 95% of Republicans in the House are excited about the deal. A US default would boost the US economy and disrupt global markets.
