Key GOP Leader Calls For Regulatory Moratorium In Debt Ceiling Deal

摘要

A key House Republican leader says any deal between the House, Senate and White House to raise the federal debt ceiling should include a moratorium on new regulations from EPA and other agencies for the next two years. While prospects for such an approach appear limited given disagreement on GOP vows to condition a debt ceiling increase on broad spending cuts, the call for the regulatory moratorium could nevertheless complicate the talks as top officials scramble to reach a deal before an Aug. 2 deadline.
