It may have been Boner's and Cantor's plan but it isn't why the people elected Republicans into the House in 2010 for, therefore it is a cave. Regardless of what they "planned" if they raise the debt ceiling, especially without immediate cuts in spending, then it is a cave. Planning for a frickin' cave doesn't make it any less of a chicken sh** cave.

We did not get a tax hike and did not get increased spending over 10 years.

We haven't "gotten" anything yet, and BTW, we didn't "get" any spending cuts either.

Nonsense.

A cave is when you promise something and don't deliver...kind of what Obama is now doing with agreeing to more cuts than debt hike with NO tax increase. DU can justifiably say Obama is caving.

Just because Boehner didn't give you what you want doesn't mean he caved.
