Peterson Foundation’s Fiscal Summit, Congressman John Boehner said there’s no reason to wait until we reach the debt limit to enact real spending cuts and reforms – the American people are ready, Republicans are ready – “let’s go.” http://boehner.house.gov/Blog/?postid=295597 http://boehner.house.gov/Blog/?postid=295597 Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT This morning, congressional leaders will visit the White House for a meeting with President Obama. Between our nation’s struggling economy, our booming debt, still painfully high gas prices, and the “fiscal time bomb” set to hit at the end of this year, the American people would expect the agenda to be focused on tackling the big issues. http://boehner.house.gov/Blog/?postid=295600 http://boehner.house.gov/Blog/?postid=295600 Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT While President Obama was telling Congressional leaders he wants to raise the debt limit without any spending cuts or reforms, Senate Democrats were preparing to reject his budget – unanimously. http://boehner.house.gov/Blog/?postid=295731 http://boehner.house.gov/Blog/?postid=295731 Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT Today, Congressman Boehner met with eighth grade students from Piqua Catholic School in Piqua, OH on the steps of the Capitol.

If not, where is Washington Democrats’ serious plan to address the debt crisis that is hurting our economy and destroying jobs? President Obama’s budget – the only Democratic plan available, since Senate Democrats have not offered a budget in three years – was defeated by the House by a vote of 414-0. Today, the Senate is expected to vote it down again. Because of the president’s failed economic and fiscal policies, a debt limit increase is looming again. The alternative is default, which would be economically disastrous. http://boehner.house.gov/Blog/?postid=295757 http://boehner.house.gov/Blog/?postid=295757 Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 GMT Rep.
