Get the Facts on the Debt Deal

Monday, August 1, 2011   Yesterday evening the President spoke in support of a bipartisan deal to reduce the nation’s deficit and avoid default. This deal will extend the debt limit until 2013, ensuring stability and economic confidence, and it puts in place a framework for balanced long term fiscal discipline. The bipartisan compromise assures that the United States meets its obligations, providing monthly Social Security checks and veterans’ benefits, and fulfilling contracts with thousands of American businesses. Watch the video of the President’s remarks, and read the fact sheet for a comprehensive breakdown of the new plan. Have questions about the deal?
