King Hopes For Debt Deal ‘By Monday At The Latest’
Rep. Pete King sent out this video just afternoon today. In it, the Long Island Republican says he’s hoping for a debt deal tomorrow or Monday “at the latest.”
“Hopefully this will resolve in the next 48 hours,” said the congressman, who pledged to stay in touch with his constituents via YouTube.
The deadline is Tuesday, as you know. So, it seems like this could come down to the wire. Veteran Albany watchers are used to this sort of thing.
Perhaps that’s why Gov. Andrew Cuomo was so thoroughly convinced Congress and the White House won’t let the country default for the first time in its history – so convinced, in fact, that he’s not bothering to make contingency plans for the state in case his gut is wrong on this one.
Other governors are not nearly as confident in the deal-making abilities of our nation’s leaders. Massachusetts, for example, is making plans – just in case.
