Republican leadership in the House will spend most, if not all of Thursday whipping votes for Speaker John Boehner’s debt limit plan. The Republican-controlled chamber is expected to vote on the proposal by late afternoon or early evening, following at least three hours of debate, a conference meeting, and a press conference.
The vote was delayed by one day after an initial scoring by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the proposal’s spending cuts were less than Boehner had predicted. A second analysis released Wednesday evening revealed the plan will cut $22 billion in the next year.
Independent whip counts suggest the Boehner plan will pass, though narrowly.

Boehner rolled just like they told him to. He had them by the gonads to get a balanced budget amendment passed BEFORE the 2012 election, and rolled over. John, you're not the patriot you said you were, and your plan still supports 62/63's of the current deficit spending now going on.
Pack your bags...
