VIDEO: One Resident's Opinion on the Debt Ceiling Agreement
Holliston engineer and business owner Robert Heger shared his thoughts with Patch on the recent accord between President Barack Obama and top Republicans.
If passed by the Senate and House of Representatives, the pact will raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, avoid default, keep the country's Triple-A credit rating, raise the U.S. borrowing limit through 2013 and establish a new committee to slash long-term spending over the next decade.
The deadline to pass the deal is Tuesday, after which the U.S. can no longer borrow money without an agreement.
