Debt-ceiling deal passes with bipartisan support.

Iowa's four Republican members of Congress voted in favor of a bill to raise the nation's debt ceiling, which passed the House of Representatives on a vote of 314-117. The legislation suspends the debt ceiling until 2025, caps discretionary spending for two years, and contains new work requirements for some welfare programs. While some Republicans argued that the spending limits in the bill fall short of the plan the GOP-led House passed earlier this year, Iowa's representatives praised the bill's common sense spending reforms and policies.
