The bill would suspend the debt limit for two years and effectively freeze federal spending that had been on track to grow. Republicans also extracted a series of policy concessions from the Biden administration, including clawing back some money approved by Congress to bolster the I.R.S. and imposing new work requirements on some recipients of government benefits.
