In an embarrassing development for John Boehner, the Republican Congress speaker, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) ruled on Tuesday night that his bill would have only cut spending by $850bn (£517bn)over the next decade, not the $1.2tn he had aimed for. Republicans are now racing to rewrite the legislation, and have pushed back a congressional vote on the plan from Wednesday to Thursday at the earliest. Although Boehner was already struggling to find support for his package, the delay increases the risk that Washington will fail to agree a deal to raise the debt ceiling before 2 August, when the federal government is expected to run out of money. - - - Another one of those well-thought-out blank pages Republican proposals... Why is Obama still insisting he be written a blank check. He is standing in the way of Congress working to come together to try to solve this problem. ONE MAN is standing in the way of making progress. He has successfully Polarized Congress and increased the chances that he will have his way. Do you really want to give into the lies and false hope and dubious change. Surely, by now, you see the path this man is leading us down is ruinous. It's easy to tell you've been swapping spit and DNA with Canuck-Knuckles. Blank check, blank check, blank check, blank check, blank check. This was the Republicans phrase for the day. Guess who picked it up? |
