House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that a deficit-reduction plan being crafted by the Senate's Gang of Six "contains some good principles" but is hardly the only option on the table.

"We have many ," Pelosi said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. "We have Simpson/Bowles, we have Domenici/Rivlin, we have the Center for American Progress, we have the Center Budget Policy ."

Former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) chaired the president's fiscal commission last year. Former Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) and former White House Budget director Alice Rivlin headed up a bipartisan group last year that presented their plan for spending cuts.

"We have, across the spectrum, many good resources — Mr. Peterson's institute — many good suggestions that we can draw upon to have a balanced bipartisan solution to this."

5. Does she have a plan

That will make it through the house?

6. Where's the plan that cuts military funding and taxes the wealthy and corporations

at a more equitable rate?

9. Sorry folks, that one is off the table. We wanted to, but now just isn't the

time to take a chance on ending any of our wars - in fact we need more drone bases, more bombs, bigger better weapon systems, and well, as for asking those job creators (you know, the wealthy and poor cash-strapped corporations) to pay more taxes, well that would simply be unAmerican.

Therefore, all you other people need to bend over and touch the floor - we're going to have to give it to you again.

10. Nancy Pelosi (who hasn't seen the details of the GO6 Plan)..

Pelosi was quick to clarify that she hasn't seen the details of the Gang of Six plan, but she was supportive of their efforts to seek a balance between spending cuts and revenue raisers.
