If cuts are greater than the accompanying increase in debt authority, why raise the debt ceiling?
They’ve watched him bluff and fold before.
There’s no concern he’s able to play even a strong hand.
That’s the problem with folding early, pretending you’ll fight hard next time...
Because they will play the same "spend now cut later" game they always play. Unfortunately later never comes.
This will not end well for the country.

The cuts wouldn’t happen instantaneously — but in general, that is the bargain we’re talking about: You raise the debt ceiling in order to get the Democrats to go along with the huge cuts. That’s the other side of the leverage in this issue.
Maybe you would prefer Nancy Pelosi as speaker.
I have been sorely disappointed with Boehner as House Speaker. He comes across as being all show and no go.
This is what we get when the Establishment GOP has their boys in charge.
We need to avoid the “weak sister” RINO at all cost.
What is he going to do demand real fake cuts this time. Are will it be more fake, fake cuts.
They’ll cave.
That’s it you need to leave the room, no common sense allowed in congress.
Maybe you would grow up and find a way to demand our side fight rather than fold, or there will be no difference between the two?
Can't we elect anything but phonies?
When he folded on the Continuing Resolution (CR) he used phrases such as, “there is a political reality” and, “it was the best deal available.”
Expect more of the same as he gets steamrolled again.
... meanwhile, Senor Wee Wee will be in El Paso on another campaign junket sucking up to the illegal alien vote rather than exerting any vestige of leadership.

No real substance, just a theater production with Kabuki performers
Harry Reid: “Jump”!
Boehner: “How high”?
Wimpy little crybaby....
You got that right! If Boehner really gave a rats arse, he wouldn’t be kowtowing - he is establishment all the way. Is this the best you can do CINCINNATI????
Defunding EPA, DO-ENERGY, DO-EDUCATION, DO-HEALTH&HUMAN SERVICES would be a good start. Let the citizens and the States keep their tax dollars to take of their own business. You can do that all right now, Speaker (Talker) Boehner - so get on with it.
