President Obama, Congressional Leaders Reach Debt Deal, Plan to Face Vote
President Barack Obama said Sunday night that he and Congressional leaders had reached a debt deal that cuts trillions in federal spending. The debt ceiling plan was set to face a vote on Monday in hopes of enacting it before a Tuesday deadline, thus averting default, The New York Times reported.
In a news conference on Sunday, Obama said the compromise “ensures also that we will not face this same kind of crisis again in six months, or eight months, or 12 months … And it will begin to lift the cloud of debt and the cloud of uncertainty that hangs over our economy.”
The proposal calls for $2.4 trillion in spending cuts over the next 10 years.
If the deal is approved, a special joint committee would be formed to explore deficit reduction.
