John Boehner‘s proposed bill was dead on arrival as it was taken to the Senate last night. It is scary to think what might happen to the state of our country if the Democrats and Republicans can’t come to an agreement by Tuesday. The House of Reps and Senate as well as our President are putting in overtime to try and come up with a compromising solution. Check out the latest as the Huffington Post reports,
WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives passed a bill on Friday to raise the debt ceiling and cut $22 billion from next year’s spending. Passed as part of a power play by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the bill died in the Senate later Friday evening.
In retribution, the House announced it will vote on Saturday against a different debt ceiling bill authored by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), in order to prove that his legislation is dead on arrival in the House.
The House voted on Boehner’s bill just four days before the government may begin to default on its loans, after two earlier versions failed to win over anti-spending stalwarts in his party.
