Plus, putting caps on US. Govt. future spending will help to contain inflation, that's been fueled by excessive Govt. fiscal spending in US and much of world. That in turn will help keep rates from rising too much farther.
Translation? It's hang-over time, spending on inflation adjusted basis will be falling. As US population continues to grow, so per capita inflation adjusted US. Govt. discretionary spending probably falling minimum of 5%.
Meanwhile unfunded giant programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, set for massive reductions by 2030, approx. 25% across the board if nothing's done.

Key to this deal was always inflation, continued Govt. out of control spending had to be addressed.
Voters #1 issue by far is inflation, really globally, so all politicians have to act or pack their bags.
Markets also happy as NO NEW TAXES, so Biden caved.
