Congressman Clyburn will appear on ABC This Week with Christiane Amanpour on Sunday morning to discuss the Republicans walk out on the deficit reduction talks.

With the economy continuing to struggle and the deadline to raise the debt ceiling approaching quickly, high-level negotiations on the deficit break down as two key Republicans walk away from the table. Will President Obama have to step into the negotiations?

"This Week" anchor Christiane Amanpour questions leading members of Congress: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Assistant Minority Leader James Clyburn, D-S.C. Can the two parties reach an agreement in time, or could the U.S. default on its debts?
