House passes bill to raise the debt ceiling, but trouble looms in Senate

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : It would also see mandatory spending -- funding largely spent on Social Security and Medicare -- fall by $10 billion, which, along with the $1.3 trillion reduction, would help the U.S. save $188 billion that the country would have had to pay in interest on its debt.
53% : Roughly $1.3 trillion of these savings would originate from instituting caps on non-defense discretionary spending -- cash designated for pursuits such as health care research, education and law enforcement -- that keep fiscal year 2024 spending around current levels and prevents fiscal year 2025 spending from rising more than 1 percent.
51% : Furthermore, the measure would end the COVID-19-era freeze on student loan payments and claw back $30 billion in unspent COVID relief funds.
