The majority of media attention was given to congressional conflicts during the current resolution to the long-brewing debt ceiling problem.

The median age of the labor duty, which was formerly limited to age 49, will now include a new segment of the population, able-bodied people with no kids who are dependent, ages 50–54, for which joblessness will stop benefits.
