Abstract

The article discusses developments on October 15, 2013 surrounding U.S. Congressional efforts to end a partial government shutdown and raise the nation's debt limit. House Speaker John Boehner canceled a vote on a bill to achieve both after conservative Republican House members objected to it. Ratings firm Fitch Ratings warned the U.S. was at risk for a credit downgrade. The Treasury Department said that absent legislation, its emergency borrowing powers would soon be exhausted.
