WASHINGTON -- The country isn’t facing an immediate debt crisis, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday, but he argued that Congress and the president must reform entitlements to avert one that lies dead ahead.

“We all know that we have one looming,” Boehner said on ABC’s “This Week”. “And we have one looming because we have entitlement programs that are not sustainable in their current form. They’re going to go bankrupt.”

Every time this man opens his mouth he confirms in my mind that I made the right decision to leave the Republican Party and register as an Independent.

17 trillion dollars of debt and we don't have a crisis?! I don't know what Boehner has been smoking, but I don't think it's cigarettes.

Bashing conservatives is what CBS/NBC/ABC live for. And Boehner is the moth who can’t stay away from their studio lights.

Why is he still registered as a Republican?
He wont let the de-funding of obamaCare for a vote, he said when the people don’t want it, he will consider it, funny last poll I saw said 65% of the people do not want that piece of excrement.
Everything this man speaks is anti-Republican.

As this guy said, “Obama saying there is no immediate debt crisis is like Captain Smith of The Titanic seeing the icebergs ahead and yelling “Full speed ahead! We haven’t struck the icebergs yet!”

We need to call his office tomorrow and demand he step down. The man is a loser and has no convictions other than the self-centered desire to retain his comfortable job. Boehner must go.

It’s not an immediate debt crisis until 10% disappears from Beener’s savings account overnight i.e. Cyprus.
