The House GOP DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE VOTES To Pass Their Own Teabagger Plan

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/16/us/politics/congress-budget-debate.html?_r=0

They had to back off because they could *not* get enough votes to pass it.

Either Boehner allows the Senate Plan to come to a vote in the House or we're going into default.

Unless Boehner allows the plan to come to a vote, the destruction of the GOP may very well coincide with the destruction of our economy.

I still remember when Boehner brought up his own plan for solving the fiscal cliff issue and had to withdraw this plan when he was unable to pass it in the House

I agree with Rachel Maddow, Boehner is very bad at his job
