Negotiated with Senate Leaders
Congressman Boehner on GOP Spending Cut Plan…
“It’s Reasonable,
It’s Responsible, It Can Pass”
BREAKING NEWS:
Tuesday night from Politico: House GOP leaders postpone floor vote on
Budget Control Act until Thursday. From Congressman John Boehner’s
office: It is because the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
said adjustments are needed to ensure the bill meets the standard that
“any debt limit increase is accompanied by spending cuts that exceed
the debt limit hike.”
“We’re here to change Washington,” Boehner said. “No mpore smoke-and-mirrors. No more ‘phantom cuts.’”
Earlier Tuesday...
WASHINGTON, D.C. – At a press conference with Republican leaders today,
Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) urged President Obama to
support Republicans’ common-sense, two-step plan to cut spending and
prevent a national default. Following are text and video of
Congressman Boehner’s remarks:
“I think I made it pretty clear last night: the President is looking
for a blank check. We have a bill that is a reasonable approach
negotiated with the Senate leadership that really is commonsense.
There’s more cuts in spending than you have an increase in the debt
limit. It has real caps and a real process for cutting spending
before the end of this year. And it provides for – I think – the
best effort to get a Balanced Budget Amendment enacted into the
Constitution.
“It’s reasonable, it’s responsible, it can pass the House and it can
pass the Senate - and I hope the President will consider signing it
into law.”
