Boner can't get votes for Plan B.

This is what he has now added in order to secure enough votes to pass something:

Cuts to food stamps that could knock millions of low-income Americans out of the program;

Cuts to Meals on Wheels, a program that delivers meals to seniors or other individuals who are unable to prepare their own food;

Cuts funding to health exchanges that will be created under Obamacare and funding for Medicaid included in the same law;

Cuts to the Dodd-Frank financial reform law that will yield no cost savings, but will make bailouts of big banks more likely;

Denying the Child Tax Credit to the parents of American children, if the parents are undocumented immigrants.

They'll have to add the overturning of Roe v. Wade and impeachment of the president (for what, I'm not sure) to the list in order to make it palatable to the Republican caucus.
