The blueprint from the Problem Solvers Caucus – which includes 32 Republicans and 32 Democrats in the House – calls for suspending the debt ceiling through Dec. 31, 2023, and proceeding with the typical budget and appropriations cycle to"remove immediate pressure of defaulting on our national debt."
