Speaker Boehner: President Obama Has an Obligation to Offer a Proposal That Can Pass Congress
Dec 4, 2012
Washington-
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement on the status of fiscal cliff negotiations.
“If the President really wants to avoid sending the economy over the fiscal cliff, he has done nothing to demonstrate it. Instead, he has offered a plan that could not pass either house of Congress – not the House of Representatives and not the Democratic-controlled Senate. The day after the election, I said that Republicans are willing to make concessions, but the President must be willing to lead. With our latest offer we have demonstrated there is a middle ground solution that can cut spending and bring in revenue without hurting American small businesses. The President now has an obligation to respond with a proposal that does the same and can pass both chambers of Congress. We’re ready and eager to talk with the president about such a proposal.”
