If the House were to pass this “Boehner” bill, what’s to keep Reid and Senate dems from gutting it, passing it, and then punting it back to the House right before August 2nd, saying ok we’ve passed the Boehner bill with some minor changes, now in the spirit of compromise, if the House doesn’t hurry up and pass it, it will be the House and GOP’s fault that we go into default? Isn’t this what Rush was essentially saying yesterday?
If they “consider” this bill and bring it to the floor for amendments, the Republicans can also offer amendments, and that could take almost forever. THEN it goes back to the House for reconciliation and degutting, which could take almost forever........
And the world is watching.
