Via Byron York, Speaker Boener is readying a new plan to address the debt crisis.
“House Republicans are finishing work on a new proposal to resolve the standoff over the debt ceiling. The proposal, set to be finished Sunday, will be in two parts. The first will combine a short-term increase in the debt ceiling with spending cuts. The second will lay the groundwork for a longer-term increase in the debt ceiling coupled with far-reaching deficit reduction.
“Senator Reid said on Friday that he is going to wait for us to move,” says a well-informed GOP House aide. “So we’ll move.”
All throughout the process Republicans have been putting forth plans, budgets and ideas while Obama and the Democrats have done absolutely nothing except obstruct, bitch and moan. Remember the President has yet to produce a budget plan. Democrats as well have failed to provide a plan. President Obama has totally shown just how little leadership ability he possesses as further evidenced by his snit fit on Friday where he appeared flustered, over his head. This is perhaps the most disturbing. Obama’s lack of experience is on full display and it’s scary.
The media is of course trying to blame Republicans but it won’t hold. Anyone with a half a brain can see who’s doing the work of the people. Again the vast majority of Americans want a deal that reduces the debt without raising taxes on the middle class.
