This bill — the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 — would raise the debt limit through July 31, 2021, to avoid a potential default in late August or early September and raise discretionary spending caps to $1.371 trillion in FY2020 & $1.375 trillion in FY2021 (up from their FY2019 level of $1.321 trillion). It would increase discretionary budgets for both defense and non-defense categories, provide additional funding for the 2020 Census, and include $77 billion in offsets for the increased spending.
