Nancy Pelosi turned aside the notion of a short-term debt ceiling hike as she continues negotiating on a broader budget deal with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Monday night turned aside the notion of a short-term debt ceiling hike as she continues negotiating on a broader budget deal with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
“The issues are what they are. They’ll be here now, they’ll be here later,” she said. “The interests of the full faith and credit of the United States of America are served by us doing this as soon as possible.” The speaker outlined her parameters for a sweeping deal in a letter to Mnuchin over the weekend, demanding “parity,” or dollar-for-dollar increases in military and nonmilitary spending.
