I have always said, If you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself !
Sounds like House Speaker John Boehner lives by the same principles, and that's a good thing !
By the end of today, Sunday 7.24.11., If the DEMS won't sign on to Spkr. Boehner's Framework, he's moving ahead without them.
My hats off to him for standing up for what's right. He was even willing to go way out on a limb and raise the Debt Ceiling, which I thoroughly oppose in exchange for cuts in the massive budget deficit. The DEM's wanted nothing to do with that !
Last week B.H.O. was drilling for more tax hikes ( of course!, ) And thank God the Speaker (John Boehner) wasn't falling for that, so he walked away from the talks.
According to FOX NEWS, On a separate track, Boehner said his last offer remains "on the table." Under that plan, Boehner acknowledged he had agreed to $800 billion in new revenue over the next decade -- combined with spending cuts and other changes worth far more than that.
Boehner insisted the $800 billion would come from a broadened tax base and not from any tax increase.
"It was not raising taxes," he said, no doubt mindful of House conservatives' stiff opposition to anything that resembles a tax hike.
What shattered the talks, Boehner said, was a White House demand to weave $400 billion in additional revenue into the package.
I hope in the end, WE get the cuts in the deficit we desperately need, We Cap the Debt Ceiling, and not raise it and finally get a balanced budget agreement.!
If Congress raises the DEBT CEILING, God help us all. ! ! !
YOURS IN LIBERTY ! ! !
