House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) says a deal to raise the debt ceiling and cut the deficit will be passed, but that the size and breadth of any plan remains to be seen.
“What the bill looks like will depend on who can vote for it,” Pelosi said. “I think we have some of the pieces … it’s not going to be mysterious as to what ends up in a final product, it’s just a question of how big it is.”
The House Minority Leader emphasized the urgency of the procedural move.
“Let’s remove all doubt … the U.S. government cannot default on its obligations … how we proceed must show a sign of serious deficit reduction … how we do that cannot deter economic growth,” Pelosi said.
