Showdown: House approves debt bill, Senate rejects it

WASHINGTON — In an unforgiving display of partisanship, the House approved emergency legislation Friday night to avoid an unprecedented government default and the Senate scuttled it less than two hours later. The final outcome — with the White House and Senate Democrats calling anew for compromise while criticizing Republicans as Tuesday’s deadline drew near — was anything but certain.

Stocks sink as debt limit stalemate continues

NEW YORK — A late sell-off wiped out the stock market’s gains Thursday as the stalemate over raising the country’s debt limit continued. The market had been up for much of the day after an unexpected decrease in new applications for unemployment benefits. Stocks sank in the last half-hour of trading after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that a bill to end the stalemate, proposed in the House of Representatives, would fail if it reached the Senate.

Other veiws: Chamber says to raise the debt limit

No less than the U.S. Chamber of Commerce earlier this month advised Republicans in Congress to quit playing ideological games and get about the vital business of raising the nation’s debt ceiling, the legal limit on how much the U.S. government can borrow.

Letter to the editor: Berg must be a part of the solution to debt standoff

Our nation is days from a catastrophic financial crisis because Rep. Rick Berg, R-N.D., and members of the House GOP refuse to compromise on the debt ceiling. If we do not raise our debt ceiling, our nation cannot pay bills on debt that we have already incurred. America will default on our debts for the first time in history.

White House veto threat on debt sends stocks lower

NEW YORK — A White House threat to veto legislation that would avert a debt default pushed stocks lower Tuesday. Major indexes were already down for the day when the White House said it would object to a Republican plan in the House of Representatives that calls for raising the debt limit by $1 trillion. The plan would require the debt issue to be voted on again next year, something President Barack Obama does not want.

WASHINGTON — Congress remains staunchly divided over how to tackle the nation’s debt crisis, and not even North Dakota and Minnesota federal lawmakers agree on a solution.

Letter to the editor: Sacrifices were made during times of hardship

Thinking about all the confusion the federal government and some state governments have about handling their deficits reminded me of a company I once worked for.

Well, he did have to evacuate his house, for one thing. In the region of his state’s capital city, so did the residents of more than 900 other homes, as what looked like a wall of floodwater rushed toward town. Then, in his state’s fourth-largest city, some 11,000 people had to evacuate, and the flood that hit that community is one for the ages. So, North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven has had a busy couple of weeks.
