Hoyer Wants Debt Ceiling Deal Within The Next 10 Days
Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at 1:10PMDemocratic Whip Steny Hoyer told reporters Tuesday that Congress needs to raise the debt limit within the next ten days “to make sure the markets know that America is going to pay its bills.”
Although talks have been moving slowly, Hoyer has some optimism that they can reach an agreement with House Republicans by as soon as Friday.
Hoyer added that an agreement could be struck that would raise the limit beyond the 2012 presidential election in order to “de-politicize” the issue.
