That would be the Cut, Cap and Balanced Budget (CCB) bill the house sent to the Senate last week. Which Reid and Dems Tabled - not allowing a vote because it may have had a chance of passing. The House Repubs just need to stop trying to get along with the Dem Senators and tell them you have our bill on the Table - we are going home see, see ya!

No, last week Boehner/House sent the “Cut, Cap, and Balance the Budget bill passed in the House to the Senate, and Reid tabled it...meaning he would NOT even bring it to Senate Floor for a vote. Therefore, since it was tabled, instead of defeated, it makes REID, IMHO, unable to INTRODUCE a bill regarding THE DEBT LIMIT (debt due to a misuse of our taxes), and because Obama/Geithner said it affected Social Security payments,,,,then it would have to originate in the House of Representatives, right?

The House sent Cut, Cap and Balance last week. So the House has acted first. He would have to amend that. He can’t just come up with a bill on his own. What he’ll do is amend it to gut it, “to be replaced with” and then add his own amendment.
