He has little experience hammering out legislative deals -- particularly at this level.
Speaking at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce lunch, Cantor said "it's a pretty good bet" that borrowing rates could increase dramatically if the U.S. fails to raise its debt ceiling by Aug. 2, after which the Treasury Department has said it will begin to default on its obligations.Eric Cantor and his House Republican colleagues released the "Plan for America's Job Creators."
