Hoyer 'welcomes' Boehner's challenge

House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer says he would welcome the late June deadline proposed by Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, by which Congress must agree on increasing the country’s debt ceiling.

“I welcome Boehner’s comments that we ought to get it done by the end of the month,” said Hoyer, D-Md., after a meeting between House Democrats and President Obama. “Adults need to come together to get this done.”
