Debt Ceiling

The 104th Congress officially begins its second session this week. But NPR's Peter Kenyon reports that with budget negotiations still at an impasse, lawmakers are expected to accomplish few legislative matters this session. Today, the debt limit was the issue going back and forth between the White House and Congress. House Majority Leader Dick Armey says House GOP will block raising the debt limit until the White House accepts much of their agenda.
