House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told Fox News’s Chris Wallace Sunday that any deal to raise the debt ceiling must be within the “cut, cap and balance” framework that has already been rejected by the Senate.
“I am going to continue to work with my congressional colleagues in both parties and my House Republican conference to try to develop a framework within the cut, cap and balance effort that the House passed this past week,” Boehner insisted. “I think a preferable path would be a bipartisan plan that involves all of the leaders, but it is too early to decide whether that is possible.”
“There will be a two-stage process, it’s just not physically possible to do all of this in one step. Having said that, Chris, I know the president is worried about his next election. But my God, shouldn’t he be worried about the country?” the Speaker wondered.
“So are you suggesting you might pass a short-term plan in the House and in effect, dare the Senate, dare the White House to block it?” Wallace asked.
