(CNSNews.com) — Suggesting that tax increases should be included in the legislation that will followup on the recommendations of the special super-committee set up by last month’s debt-limit law, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said on Thursday that Congress needs to “address revenue.”

Pelosi was speaking in an anticipation of a speech on economic issues that House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) was gong to be delivering to the Economic Club of Washington on Wednesday.

“Speaker Boehner is going to call on the super-committee today to take on tax reform,” a reporter asked Pelosi at a morning press briefing. “Do you think that that also should be a top-priority for the super-committee? And what would you like to see? Do you want to see corporate tax rates go down to 25 percent?”

“Any tax reform and closing of loopholes, which is really important for us to do as a sense of fairness, must also reduce the deficit,” said Pelosi.
