Question of the Day: Debt Deal

The president and congressional leaders have reached a deal. What do you think?

On Sunday night President Obama announced that he had reached an agreement on the debt ceiling.

It also calls for about $2.4 trillion in immediate spending cuts and the creation of a bi-partisan committee that will recommend further cuts.
