WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- New revenues "under the right conditions" are acceptable to Republicans as part of a deal to reduce the deficit, House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday. But Boehner, speaking a day after his party retained its House majority in elections, said revenue should come through growth and reform, not higher tax rates. Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire and automatic spending cuts will kick in next year if Congress doesn't act in the lame-duck session

Boehner is trying to lose 2014 and 2016.
"Barry please let me know how far I have to bend over."
This is partly why I posted this...
The Title is misleading and I wonder if the MSM is already setting us up....
They salivate at any chance to slam the Speaker.
All I heard him say was increasing revenue through tax reform (get rid of loopholes) and growth.
We’re officially a one party nation.
Is Boehner crying yet?
The headline is a damn lie. Quit letting the corrupt mainstream media jerk your chain people! Just damn!
The Dow dropped 52 points in the last 8 minutes of trading today, which coincides with the release of this article.
Might as well raise them, raise the debt ceiling, give 0bama and the ‘rats all the new spending they want.
The party’s over, and the fiscal cliff is looming - might as well go “Thelma and Louise” over it.
OH NO !! Endless days of Boehner ,blah blah blah ,with Obama and Reid ,Hello , crickets
They're doing it to anger conservatives.
They love to do this and conservatives fall for the lie almost every time.
Shut up Boner!
To hell with the entire damned Republicrat Party! This is the party that has officiated at the trashing of the U. S. Constitution in that they watched while the leftist rats used it to wipe their asses on it! The stupid Republicrats then flushed the toilet.
Since the nation operates without being governed by a constitution then it would appear we are headed for an overthrow of the entire stinking apparatus!
Thanks. I was getting ready to find the actual quote.
It seems the MSM can play conservatives very easily..... All they have to do is to write a damaging and inaccurate headline and the conservative base goes running off badmouthing the person without ever knowing the entire quote.
We are so gullible sometimes.
Leatherneck Fag.
Demand that the Senate pass a damn Budget!!!! THEN maybe work can be done on that budget...
And when the Recession of 2013 hits, the media narrative has already been written: “Massive tax increases passed by the Republican House of Representatives hit the middle class the hardest and caused the Recession.” Good by GOP House majority in 2014.
