WASHINGTON (Nov. 20, 2010) — New Republican House members had barely settled in for freshman orientation this week when their leader delivered a disorienting message.
Sure you campaigned to slash out-of-control government spending, incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner said, but one of the first votes you will cast will be to raise the debt ceiling.
“We’re going to have to deal with it as adults,” the head of the Republican establishment said. “Whether we like it or not, the federal government has obligations and we have obligations on our part.”
TY; Hard for me to believe that in the zillion threads I have read on the debt deal discussion that this is the first I have heard of this and why others would not think it a salient point speaking to Boehner’s long-standing prejudice.
I see your point clearly.
I first distrusted him on this particular piece of legislation when I saw the photo of him on the golf course with Obama. I smelled a stench and hoped it wasn’t so.
Thanks again for the links.
