Durbin on impending debt ceiling deadline: 'We're gonna get this done'
CNN
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin projected confidence that the Democratic majority in the Senate will not let the United States government run out of money October 18, when it's on track to hit the borrowing ceiling set by Congress.
"We're gonna get this done, and we're gonna do it in a responsible way and face this as soon as we return next week," Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" Sunday.
"This would be deadly to our economy. It would cost us six million jobs," Durbin said about hitting the debt ceiling.
