US President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have reached a tentative agreement to raise the federal government’s $3.4 trillion debt ceiling, just days ahead of the deadline to prevent a potential default. The agreement, reached on Saturday, proposes raising the debt limit for two years while implementing spending caps during that period. However, the concessions made to reach the compromise risk dissatisfaction from both Democratic and Republican sides.

This bipartisan agreement is crucial to gaining congressional approval next week, preventing the United States from running out of funds to meet its obligations by June 5. After a 90-minute telephone call, President Biden stated that the compromise represents the nature of governance, emphasizing that not everyone will get what they want.

Biden highlighted the positive aspects of the agreement, preventing a catastrophic default that could have led to an economic recession, devastating retirement accounts, and causing job losses. McCarthy, while acknowledging that there is still work to be done, deemed the agreement worthy of the American people.

The core of the package includes a two-year budget deal maintaining spending levels for 2024 and imposing limits for 2025, linked to the two-year debt limit increase. The agreement also involves reclaiming unused COVID-19 funds, expediting energy project permits, and introducing additional work requirements for certain food aid programs.

To secure broader support, waivers were obtained for veterans and the homeless, and it would limit food stamp eligibility for able-bodied adults up to age 54. The deal aims to avoid an economically destabilizing default, provided it successfully passes through the divided Congress before the treasury department faces a shortage of funds.

Despite the positive developments, challenges lie ahead in gaining support from both Republicans and Democrats. The House, with a 222-213 Republican majority, and the Senate, with a 51-49 Democrat majority, will require careful navigation to secure enough votes. Wrangling is anticipated as some Republicans may view the cuts as too modest, while progressive Democrats may find them too stringent.

The prolonged debt ceiling negotiations had a notable impact on financial markets, affecting stocks and leading to record-high interest rates in certain bond sales. A default would pose severe consequences, potentially pushing the nation into recession, affecting the global economy, and causing a spike in unemployment. The last time the US faced a similar situation was in 2011, resulting in economic shocks and the first-ever downgrade of the country’s credit rating.
