House Votes to Lift Debt Ceiling, Trim Spending

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The 99-page bill, called the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, would rescind roughly $30 billion of unspent COVID-19 relief funds; completely fund veterans medical care as proposed in the president's budget for fiscal year 2024, and end a pause in repaying student loans in late August, The Associated Press reported.
49% : That bill, designed to "limit federal spending, save taxpayer dollars," and "grow the economy," passed narrowly by a vote of 217-215 without support from a single Democrat.
43% : The House voted Wednesday evening to lift the nation's debt ceiling and begin to curb government spending, despite resistance from conservatives following weeks of negotiations between Republicans and Democrats.
