House Republican leaders have missed a 36-hour deadline President Obama set during a Thursday meeting for lawmakers to give him a plan to avert a national default.
The deadline came and went Saturday morning without a response from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Instead, Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) plan to move the Cut, Cap and Balance Act on the floor next week, which would require passage of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution before the debt limit is raised.

Has any other President threatened to cut off social security and military checks prior to a possible government shutdown except Obama?
Give the guy a break....you don't actually expect him to read the Constitution do you?
Ooops, that didn't come out so well, did it? Some illiterate liberal (but I repeat myself) might think it was "racist"TM.
*niggardly* a pathological liar because the Democrats have told us all along that Social Security is in a lockbox separate from the rest of the Federal Budget.
There, all fixed.
Cheers!
Balanced Budget Amendment HJ RES 56 (same as SR RES 10)
HJ RES 56 Joe Walsh sponsors with 59 co-sponsors include Issa, McClintock, Pence, West and Wilson
Michele Bachmann is AWOL.
SR RES 10 Hatch sponsors with 47 co-sponsors. It looks like all GOP senators on board including squishy types like Brown, Collins, Graham, Lugar, McCain and Snowe.
Awwwww. Poor Barry. The Bad Old Republicans aren’t kowtowing to his demands. It stinks to be A Nekkid Emperor.
Congress doesn’t work for you Mr Obama.
Exactly, vote on Cut, Cap, Balance, or take the full 40 point hit Aug 3, after we make the interest payment, SS payment, and pay the military.
Obama, do you like your peas? With carrots, or perhaps some pea soup
