House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement after GOP leaders met with a bipartisan group of governors from the National Governors Association:
Over the years, President Obama has not exactly been the model of consistency when it comes to his willingness – or unwillingness – to do tax reform that generates revenue without raising rates.
House Speaker John Boehner released the following statement on the status of fiscal cliff negotiations.
With a new offer yesterday, Republicans have made a good faith effort to find common ground and avoid the fiscal cliff. In its initial response, the White House made clear it has no intention of finding middle ground.
Democrats – even those openly talking about driving off the fiscal cliff – are already on the record against much of the White House plan.
On Fox News Sunday, Speaker John Boehner said Republicans have offered a balanced approach to averting the fiscal cliff but the president is "not being serious about coming to an agreement." Boehner says the White House is holding tax increases over the heads of the middle class while demanding more spending and tax rate hikes that will hurt small businesses.
Speaker Boehner delivered the following response to President Obama today, urging the administration to work with Republicans on a balanced approach to resolving the fiscal cliff.
Just 15 miles down the road from the president's rally is a small business that can’t afford to pay the higher tax rates he demands.
Three weeks after Republicans outlined a balanced, popular framework for averting the fiscal cliff by cutting spending and reforming our tax code, the White House finally made its offer: a spectacularly unserious grab bag of tax rate hikes, ‘stimulus’-style spending, and other Democratic pipe dreams.
At his weekly press conference today, Speaker Boehner called on Democrats to outline their plan for serious spending cuts that are needed as part of any truly “balanced” plan to avert the fiscal cliff and help get the economy moving again.
