Summary of Bill S 1395

Bill 118 s 1395, also known as the "Debt Limit Suspension Act," is a piece of legislation that aims to temporarily suspend the debt limit through December 31, 2024. The debt limit, also known as the debt ceiling, is the maximum amount of money that the United States government is allowed to borrow to meet its financial obligations.

By suspending the debt limit, the government would be able to continue borrowing money to pay its bills without facing the risk of defaulting on its debt. This temporary suspension would provide the government with the flexibility to address its financial obligations and prevent any potential economic disruptions.

The bill does not eliminate the debt limit entirely, but rather provides a temporary reprieve until the end of 2024. This gives Congress more time to address the issue of the debt limit and come up with a more permanent solution. Overall, the goal of Bill 118 s 1395 is to ensure that the government can continue to meet its financial obligations without facing the risk of default. It is an important piece of legislation that aims to provide stability to the US economy and prevent any potential financial crises.
