I think freepers who are attacking Boehner are making a mistake. Obama is NOT going to sign this, so why not pass it and hoist Obama on his own petard, rather than let the Republicans be blamed when nothing passes?

Why wouldn't he? He gets 2/3 of what he wants: higher debt ceiling and no spending cuts. The only thing he doesn't get is tax increases. But he'll get those anyway -- the higher interest rates resulting from the debt ceiling increase and the inflation we're already seeing in the economy from our currency debasement are simply stealth taxation.
