And ... it's postponed, House in recess. They may still vote tonight. Boehner is meeting with members individually (begging).
Begging try and get them to vote for a bill that won't pass the Senate and that the President will veto.
This is a huge waste of our time and money. This incompetence is so angering. Just take a damn clean debt ceiling vote, like you guys have the previous 79 times, then spend all the time you want on cuts to spending and revenue deals. After all, there is a new budget coming up.
Quote:
The vote to pass House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) debt ceiling bill has been postponed while Boehner meets with his members individually. The vote could still take place this evening. Earlier today, the House passed the rule along party lines (238-186) for House Speaker Boehner’s plan to lift the debt ceiling.
Speaker Boehner released a revised version of his proposal Wednesday evening, which cuts $917 billion dollars of spending over ten years.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that should the House pass Boehner's bill, the Senate will vote to table - or discard - the measure this evening.
