[yldstrk]

Asian markets opening, Sun rising, ok, big deal

[liberalh8ter]

Boehner should tread lightly here. Not only will this cost him his speakership, he will lose his job as well.

[Wolfie]

It’s all fun and games until your masters in the financial markets tell you to shut up and cut a deal.

[Loyal Buckeye]

“grand bargain”. What a bunch of B.S.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Asian markets opening

SCREW the damned asian markets. Our future as a free, sovereign nation hangs in the balance. Stick to the knitting here at home.

“No deal” is infinitely preferable to a “bad deal”.

[floozy22]

Not gonna jump on this...considering the source.

[edge10]

It seems they have made a mistake by keeping him this long (or ever electing him Speaker).

[stockpirate]

The battle is between the people who want to steal our earnings and those who don’t want their earnings stolen...

Boenher and McConnell need to GO and soon.

[FrankR]

I can't believe that Boehner went back to the table with obama...the 'one' is trying to wear him down with threats and intimidation.

Was Boehner asleep when obama lost it in the presser because he was told "no"? Just keep blocking him and he'll fall to pieces eventualy.

[ken21]

bump.

[yldstrk]

Boehner should REFUSE to deal with the administration. He would be hailed as a hero.

[Bernard]

If the increased tax revenue comes from an expanded economy with the existing rates, that's a good thing. If increased revenue means TAX INCREASE, that's just assisting Obama in his jihad to fundamentally transform America into North Korea.

[Da Coyote]

If Boehner blows it, he goes.

Period.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Just beacuse Boner and Obummer cut a deal that doesn’t mean the House will go along with it. Hold the line and stick to your principles.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I am told that Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy and Jeb Hensarling (the 2, 3, and 4 GOP leaders in the House) have all made it clear to Boehner they will not accept a deal that increases tax revenues by $800 billion.

I wonder which one of these guys called Erickson?

It’s "[crap]" (unnamed Conrgressman: Boehner is getting nervous)

[TwelveOfTwenty]

$800 billion in additional tax revenue.

If they want $800 billion in additional tax revenue, give businesses an incentive to create jobs (IE tax payers) here. Stop driving jobs out of the country by making it too expensive to hire here.

That goes for the UAW, too.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks kristinn.

a deal with some $3 trillion in spending cuts and $800 billion in additional tax revenue

In exchange, no increase in the debt ceiling? Is that what's being suggested?

[ladyjane]

The battle is between the people who want to steal our earnings and those who don’t want their earnings stolen...

yes

[free me]

Boehner already blew it when he failed to get behind cut,cap,balance and failed to present it as the Republican’s final offer.

He’s has already sold out, we’re already screwed.
