In an interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer, Pelosi said she will "absolutely" vote yes on the compromise package, even though she agreed with one colleagues' characterization of it as a "Satan sandwich."
"It probably is – with some Satan fries on the side," Pelosi said.
Still, Pelosi said she's supporting it – and believes a sufficient number of House Democrats will follow suit – because the deal extends the debt limit for 18 months without any cuts to Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, and it establishes a balance of cuts between discretionary spending and defense.

Satan Sandwich with a Side of Satan Fries
I wish there were a way to punish (outside of voting) our Congressional "leaders," particularly the republicans, who turned raising the debt ceiling into a national nightmare, for the collective anxiety they caused our nation.
