I think Boehner just HAD to know this wouldn’t fly. Hell, 6 billion? It seems obvious he did it on purpose.
So I’m left wondering what may be going on.
Boehner had done well in this negotiation until, it seems, now.
We shall see.
He said he had the votes to pass this bill, even before the CBO score came out. It really does not matter if the cuts are 850 billion oe 2 zillion. They are phantom future cuts. They will never happen. What has happened is once again Bonehead says one thing and the facts (CBO Score) says another. Allen West and Paul Ryan stuck their neck out in support, before the CBO scores came out. They look like the fools.
