Mr. Zandi said the bill would reduce employment by about 800,000 jobs by the end of 2024 and "add meaningfully to unemployment." He recommended that the debt ceiling be suspended until the end of fiscal year 2023 and warned, "We need to end this drama as quickly as possible. If we don't, we're going to go into recession and our fiscal challenges will be made even worse."
