Debt Ceiling Deal Signed: Brad Bannon

 

Congress and President Barack Obama beat the deadline for raising the nation's debt ceiling by just a few hours Tuesday, but they hardly ended the clash over the size and reach of government. The next confrontation promises to be at least as contentious as the one they just finished.

That number can be reached by reductions in spending and increases in revenues, and the brawl over how to do that already has begun.
