Pelosi: Gang of Six plan not the only option
By Mike Lillis - 07/21/11 12:28 PM ET

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that a deficit-reduction plan being crafted by the Senate's Gang of Six "contains some good principles" but is hardly the only option on the table.

"We have many ," Pelosi said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. "We have Simpson/Bowles, we have Domenici/Rivlin, we have the Center for American Progress, we have the Center Budget Policy ."

Former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) chaired the president's fiscal commission last year. Former Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) and former White House Budget director Alice Rivlin headed up a bipartisan group last year that presented their plan for spending cuts.

"We have, across the spectrum, many good resources — Mr. Peterson's institute — many good suggestions that we can draw upon to have a balanced bipartisan solution to this."

"This (the Gang of Six plan) would be one of them," she added.

Pelosi was quick to clarify that she hasn't seen the details of the Gang of Six plan, but she was supportive of their efforts to seek a balance between spending cuts and revenue raisers.
