At a press conference yesterday, Speaker Boehner squashed any notion that an “agreement” has been struck to fund the government through September, and vowed that Republicans will continue to fight for the largest spending cuts possible to help end economic uncertainty so businesses can start hiring again. Video is included below courtesy of ABC News:
Boehner says:
“There is no agreement on numbers. Nothing will be agreed to until everything is agreed to. House Republicans only control one half of one third of government, but we’re going to continue to fight for the largest spending cuts we can get.”
It’s been 41 days since House Republicans passed a bill to cut spending and keep the government running through September. It’s time for Washington Democrats to get to work.
