Bloomberg reports that Congress has passed a two-year bipartisan budget plan that avoids a default on U.S. debt, increases spending on domestic and
defense programs and ends months of turmoil among House Republicans.
The deadline was 3 November, as such political shenanigans took this up to the wire.
President Barack Obama has a bill that will extend U.S.
borrowing authority until March 2017, after he leaves office.
Thus the can has been kicked down the road for a little while longer, and Obama's successor will have to deal with the financial mess that the USA is in.
