Biden: "We're ready to hand over the budget to Congress" Without the deal, the U.S. would have to start defaulting on its debt.

Biden: "No one got everything they wanted, but that's the responsibility when you govern" "I have no idea if he has the votes (required), otherwise he wouldn't have made the deal," he says of House Speaker Boehner. "This is the best deal we've ever had," he adds, "and it's not a done deal"
