Matt Rourke/AP Images Congress faces a slew of deadlines in September, most notably a need to pass bills funding the government and raising the debt ceiling. While there is considerable uncertainty, many analysts expect Congress to "punt" on fights regarding the deadlines for now. But that doesn't mean it will be "drama free," analysts say. Congress is facing a brutal September, but according to many analysts, it looks like lawmakers may kick the can down the road a little longer. As the legislature returns from a month-long August recess, it faces down the needs to pass a bill to fund the government, raise the debt ceiling, and reauthorize a slew of government programs. But policy experts and political analysts say the most likely outcome for this crushing deadline push is a series of short-term bills that will in essence "punt" many of the bigger policy fights to later dates. The Morgan Stanley public policy research and economic team said in a note Tuesday that the short timeframe to secure deals and the thorny nature of the issues on the table would likely lead to Congress deferring many of them to a later date.
