自上次议会戏剧性地投票反对大幅度增长税收缩减开支的两天后，113名国会议员于今天再次聚集在一起。 NPR记者大卫・沃尔德曼发来报道，议会领袖在这场迫在眉睫的预算危机中拓展出了新的进展。 债务上限必然会上升，财政政策到期，预算缩减，政府基金会在未来三个月内用光。 议会多数党领导人哈利・里德表示政府做出的任何裁决都需要权衡轻重维持平衡状态。 未来达成的任何协议必须权衡考虑减少富人支出，同时控制税收压力。 但议会共和党领导人米奇・麦康诺表示，总统奥巴马已经注意到民众希望减少支出。 现在他已经如愿增长了税收，他呼吁保持平衡，这就意味着他将加入我们的行列为减少开支而共同努力。 麦康诺表示，对于税收问题的讨论已经结束。大卫・沃尔德曼首都报道。
