---------------------------------------- Economy/Business News Alert: Harry Reid: Vote on debt deal could come as soon as Sunday night July 31, 2011 5:03:17 PM ---------------------------------------- After emerging from a lengthy closed-door meeting with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders late Sunday afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was asked whether he expects a vote on the deal Sunday tonight. "I hope so," he told reporters. But sources in both parties said all sides were close to signing off on the emerging agreement except House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio). While the reason for the hangup was not immediately clear, the framework has the potential to trigger big cuts in the defense budget. http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/PSLW3N/9ZDF7U/QHZAJ1/CBIWTQ/6L0XZ/VU/h For more information, visit PostBusiness.com ---------------------------------------- Get a unique daily review and analysis of the debt, deficit and economy debate.
