Biden, Pelosi Stress Harmony On Budget
The message of the day seems to be Democratic harmony, displayed just now between Vice President Biden and Speaker Pelosi as they prepared to have lunch at the Capitol. The Democrats both expressed strong confidence that lawmakers will produce a budget that meets the administration’s goals, with Pelosi saying the House is “intent to deliver for the president.”
“I know at the end of the day, we will have a strong budget supportive of the president’s principles,” Pelosi said. She also sent a message to Republicans, saying that while she hoped a budget would pass with bipartisan support, “I know the bill will pass.”
“We’re in a position where in order to rebuild this economy, it can’t be built on a false bubble,” the former senator said. “We have to get down to rebuilding an economy that produces a solid foundation for the better part of the beginning of this century. And that requires us to deal with education, with health care, and it requires us to deal with energy, and also budget discipline built in.”
