John Boehner: “Inappropriate, but so were attempts to exploit it.”

Let me just be clear here. A debt limit increase without any reforms to lower our deficit just isn`t going to cut it.

This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I have seen in the 19 years I have been here in Washington.

The modern Republican Party is filled with, as John Boehner put it, people who spend more time tearing things apart than actually building anything.

For a bill that was supposed to be about jobs, jobs, jobs, has turned into a bill that`s all about spending, spending, and spending.
