Aides for both the White House and congressional leadership are preparing for another round of discussions on government spending and the debt ceiling ahead of the next leadership level meeting tomorrow. According to reports out of Capitol Hill, staff have discussed the possibility of a two-year appropriations deal that would include an agreement on spending caps coupled with a hike of the debt ceiling for a similar duration. While these ongoing discussions signify that some progress is being made, the two sides still remain far apart on the parameters of a bipartisan agreement that can pass both chambers.
