Pelosi Has a Plan for Avoiding Sequestration Cuts

Says eliminating tax subsidies for oil companies would help

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says the tens of billions of dollars of spending cuts under sequestration that kicks in on March 1 can be avoided through eliminating tax subsidies for oil companies.

"The fact is we've had plenty of spending cuts, $1.6 trillion in the Budget Control Act. What we need is growth," Pelosi said in an interview on "Fox News Sunday." Slashing spending indiscriminately, she said, would hurt growth prospects for the U.S. economy.
