Boehner Threatens Not to Hold Debt Limit Vote
House Speaker John Boehner “won’t guarantee a vote on raising the debt limit, the latest threat in an increasingly high stakes game of chicken with the White House over whether Congress will inch closer to letting the nation default on its credit,” Politico reports.
Said Boehner: “If the president doesn’t get serious about the need to address our fiscal nightmare, yeah, there’s a chance it could not happen. But that’s not my goal.”
