At that point, programs would be cut across the board.

One key is Pelosi's win of a 50/50 defense to domestic spending-cut ratio if the super committee deadlock.

In particular, the first round of cuts will include $350 billion in defense savings, while the second round would include between $500 and $600 billion in defense cuts if no bipartisan agreement is reached...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re a Democrat and you must accede to $1.5 trillion in cuts — and that’s literally the situation that Democrats will find themselves in if the deal passes through Congress — it’s going to be hard to do better than this $1.5 trillion in cuts. They are very heavily loaded with defense cuts, while containing few changes to entitlement programs or to programs which benefit the poor.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Today, however, \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/01/what-the-white-house-left-on-the-table/\">\u003cstrong>Silver writes\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> that when taking into account who voted for and against the bill yesterday, the terms of the deal could have shifted \"tangibly toward the left\" while still managing to get it passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Specifically, it seems likely that Mr. Obama could have gotten an extension of the payroll tax cut included in the bill, or unemployment benefits, either of which would have had a stimulative effect...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that payroll tax cut, the deal becomes a much easier sell to Democrats — and perhaps also to swing voters, particularly given that nobody spent much time during this debate talking about jobs.

At that point, programs would be cut across the board.

All the cuts would occur to hospitals and doctors...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liberals are outraged over the deal, but have reasons to support it. One key is Pelosi's win of a 50/50 defense to domestic spending-cut ratio if the super committee deadlock.

In particular, the first round of cuts will include $350 billion in defense savings, while the second round would include between $500 and $600 billion in defense cuts if no bipartisan agreement is reached...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re a Democrat and you must accede to $1.5 trillion in cuts — and that’s literally the situation that Democrats will find themselves in if the deal passes through Congress — it’s going to be hard to do better than this $1.5 trillion in cuts.

President Obama said the second wave of debt cuts could include revenue-boosting tax reform. \"At this stage, everything will be on the table,\" Obama said. But House Speaker John Boehner insisted that tax increases were not, in fact, on the table. \"It's all spending cuts,\" Boehner told Republican lawmakers in a conference call Sunday night. \"The White House bid to raise taxes has been shut down.\" The discrepancy has to do with how the Congressional Budget Office estimates the cost of legislation, which can sometimes turn a tax cut into a tax hike, at least on paper. The GOP said the deal will use current law as a baseline to estimate how much the legislation cuts the deficit--and the current law includes the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in 2012. If the committee makes any changes to the income tax code, it'll also likely have to resolve the expiring Bush tax cuts. So a small tax increase would count as a deficit-busting tax cut, because it would cancel the tax hike scheduled to go into effect at the end of 2012, or so Boehner's office argued.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1312241783,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":24,"wordCount":1272},"headData":{"title":"House Passes Debt Deal; Senate to Vote Next | KQED","description":"From AP: The House has passed legislation designed to keep the government from defaulting on its debts.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid signaled he's ready to push ahead with his own version, and President Barack Obama declared \"we're almost out of time\" in a wrenching political standoff that has heightened fears of a market-rattling government default.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The power to solve this is in our hands on a day when we've been reminded how fragile the economy already is,\" the president said from the White House as many U.S. stocks fell in response to a sour report on economic growth and widespread uncertainty over the Washington debt stalemate. \"This is one burden we can lift ourselves. We can end it with a simple vote.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A simple vote was hard to come by, just a few days before Tuesday's debt-limit deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Capitol Hill, Boehner revised his measure and made inroads with reluctant rank-and-file conservatives who have argued that the deficit cuts it contained were insufficient in exchange for a debt limit hike. The leadership pushed toward a late Friday vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. David Dreier of California said the revised measure would still raise the nation's debt limit by $900 billion -- essential to allow the government to keep paying its bills -- and cut spending by $917 billion. But a later increase in borrowing authority wouldn't take effect unless Congress sent a constitutional balanced budget amendment to the states for ratification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a key demand of rebellious conservatives who withheld their votes from the legislation on Thursday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That balanced-budget amendment addition made Phil Gingery, R-Ga., a convert. \"That's basically what many of us were holding out for,\" he said after GOP leaders made a fresh appeal to rank and file at a closed-door meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freshman Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., said the change on the balanced-budget amendment \"got a lot of additional Republican votes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, a self-described \"beat-up no\" after days of arm-twisting, said he was leaning toward \"yes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Senate, Reid pressed forward with his legislation, setting up a showdown vote for Sunday. On the Senate floor, Reid said glumly, \"This is likely our last chance to save this nation from default.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Nevada Democrat said he had invited Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to join him in negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A divided government is struggling to break the extreme Washington gridlock and head off a first-ever default that would leave the Treasury without the money necessary to pay all its bills. Administration officials say Tuesday is the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are plenty of ways out of this mess. But we are almost out of time,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest sticking point is the House bill's call for congressional votes to raise the debt ceiling, in two stages, before the 2012 elections. The president wants one vote before his bid for a second term. No matter how the endgame plays out, one House GOP veteran indicated that the party's internal fight had weakened the hand of its leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everybody acknowledges that because of the dust-up yesterday we've lost some leverage,\" said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio. \"You can say it's remote, but there was a chance that the package yesterday, if it had been successfully voted out, would have been adopted by the Senate and signed by the president. I think everybody acknowledges that's not going to happen with this piece of legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think anybody thinks that this bill is going to be passed as is by the Senate. It's going to come back to us, and we'll take a look at it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell dismissed the Democratic effort on Reid's bill, arguing that it stands no chance in the GOP-controlled House, and he accused Obama of pushing the nation to the brink of an economic abyss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the president hadn't decided to blow up the bipartisan solution that members of Congress worked so hard to produce last weekend, we'd be voting to end this crisis today,\" McConnell said on the Senate floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his brief White House remarks, Obama made a fresh appeal to Americans to contact members of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office of the Architect of the Capitol reported that the main phone circuit was near capacity. It said outside callers were occasionally getting busy signals as a result of the heavy volume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional phone lines and websites became overloaded earlier in the week after Obama asked people to contact their lawmakers about the stalemate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boehner, R-Ohio, suffered a stinging setback Thursday when, for a second day, he had to postpone a vote on his proposal to extend the nation's borrowing authority while cutting federal spending by nearly $1 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obviously, we didn't have the votes,\" Dreier said after Boehner and the GOP leadership had spent hours trying to corral the support of rebellious conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Republicans now can get Boehner's version through the House, a rapid and complex set of choices will determine whether and how a debt crisis can be averted. House Republicans will be under tremendous pressure to pass something, even if they have to make it so appealing to their right wing that the nation's independents and centrists will scorn it. As Thursday's events proved, nothing is guaranteed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main area of dispute between the two parties is how to encourage or guarantee big spending cuts in the future without rekindling a fiercely divisive debt-ceiling debate such as the one now raging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interviews with well-placed insiders suggest the following road map, assuming Boehner can get his bill out of the House:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic-controlled Senate would kill it quickly. The focus then would fall on the Senate's two leaders, Reid and McConnell. They must decide whether they can reach a compromise that can pass the Senate -- where a united GOP can kill bills with filibusters -- and then pass the House and be signed by Obama. The White House would be integral to such talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican officials say McConnell could hold a strong hand, despite the House's shaky performance. He could argue that the House finally passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling, while the Senate has done nothing but kill that bill. If Tuesday's deadline passes with no resolution, Republicans say, voters will blame Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this thinking, the Senate would pass a measure similar to the House bill, perhaps with minor changes to save face and give political cover to Democrats who vote for it. The House would quickly concur, with numerous Democrats and all but the most conservative Republicans voting aye. Obama would have no choice but to sign it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say the opposite is true. Obama has persuasively argued in recent weeks that Republicans are unreasonably demanding, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats control the Senate and White House. If Republicans insist that a partisan, House-passed bill is the only vehicle, then public anger will fall on them, this thinking goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A $900 billion debt-limit hike would come first, coupled with $917 billion in spending cuts over 10 years. Under the Boehner revision, approval of a balanced-budget constitutional amendment would open a path to another $1.6 trillion in borrowing power, provided that Congress and the president have agreed to another round of spending cuts of that amount or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama has consistently rejected this condition. He says it would hurt the economy and touch off another ferocious political fight over the debt ceiling, which Congress previously raised with little fuss year after year.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid signaled he's ready to push ahead with his own version, and President Barack Obama declared \"we're almost out of time\" in a wrenching political standoff that has heightened fears of a market-rattling government default.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The power to solve this is in our hands on a day when we've been reminded how fragile the economy already is,\" the president said from the White House as many U.S. stocks fell in response to a sour report on economic growth and widespread uncertainty over the Washington debt stalemate. \"This is one burden we can lift ourselves. We can end it with a simple vote.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A simple vote was hard to come by, just a few days before Tuesday's debt-limit deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Capitol Hill, Boehner revised his measure and made inroads with reluctant rank-and-file conservatives who have argued that the deficit cuts it contained were insufficient in exchange for a debt limit hike. The leadership pushed toward a late Friday vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. David Dreier of California said the revised measure would still raise the nation's debt limit by $900 billion -- essential to allow the government to keep paying its bills -- and cut spending by $917 billion. But a later increase in borrowing authority wouldn't take effect unless Congress sent a constitutional balanced budget amendment to the states for ratification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a key demand of rebellious conservatives who withheld their votes from the legislation on Thursday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That balanced-budget amendment addition made Phil Gingery, R-Ga., a convert. \"That's basically what many of us were holding out for,\" he said after GOP leaders made a fresh appeal to rank and file at a closed-door meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freshman Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., said the change on the balanced-budget amendment \"got a lot of additional Republican votes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, a self-described \"beat-up no\" after days of arm-twisting, said he was leaning toward \"yes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Senate, Reid pressed forward with his legislation, setting up a showdown vote for Sunday. On the Senate floor, Reid said glumly, \"This is likely our last chance to save this nation from default.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Nevada Democrat said he had invited Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to join him in negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A divided government is struggling to break the extreme Washington gridlock and head off a first-ever default that would leave the Treasury without the money necessary to pay all its bills. Administration officials say Tuesday is the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are plenty of ways out of this mess. But we are almost out of time,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest sticking point is the House bill's call for congressional votes to raise the debt ceiling, in two stages, before the 2012 elections. The president wants one vote before his bid for a second term. No matter how the endgame plays out, one House GOP veteran indicated that the party's internal fight had weakened the hand of its leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everybody acknowledges that because of the dust-up yesterday we've lost some leverage,\" said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio. \"You can say it's remote, but there was a chance that the package yesterday, if it had been successfully voted out, would have been adopted by the Senate and signed by the president. I think everybody acknowledges that's not going to happen with this piece of legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think anybody thinks that this bill is going to be passed as is by the Senate. It's going to come back to us, and we'll take a look at it,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell dismissed the Democratic effort on Reid's bill, arguing that it stands no chance in the GOP-controlled House, and he accused Obama of pushing the nation to the brink of an economic abyss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the president hadn't decided to blow up the bipartisan solution that members of Congress worked so hard to produce last weekend, we'd be voting to end this crisis today,\" McConnell said on the Senate floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his brief White House remarks, Obama made a fresh appeal to Americans to contact members of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office of the Architect of the Capitol reported that the main phone circuit was near capacity. It said outside callers were occasionally getting busy signals as a result of the heavy volume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional phone lines and websites became overloaded earlier in the week after Obama asked people to contact their lawmakers about the stalemate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boehner, R-Ohio, suffered a stinging setback Thursday when, for a second day, he had to postpone a vote on his proposal to extend the nation's borrowing authority while cutting federal spending by nearly $1 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Obviously, we didn't have the votes,\" Dreier said after Boehner and the GOP leadership had spent hours trying to corral the support of rebellious conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Republicans now can get Boehner's version through the House, a rapid and complex set of choices will determine whether and how a debt crisis can be averted. House Republicans will be under tremendous pressure to pass something, even if they have to make it so appealing to their right wing that the nation's independents and centrists will scorn it. As Thursday's events proved, nothing is guaranteed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main area of dispute between the two parties is how to encourage or guarantee big spending cuts in the future without rekindling a fiercely divisive debt-ceiling debate such as the one now raging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interviews with well-placed insiders suggest the following road map, assuming Boehner can get his bill out of the House:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic-controlled Senate would kill it quickly. The focus then would fall on the Senate's two leaders, Reid and McConnell. They must decide whether they can reach a compromise that can pass the Senate -- where a united GOP can kill bills with filibusters -- and then pass the House and be signed by Obama. The White House would be integral to such talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican officials say McConnell could hold a strong hand, despite the House's shaky performance. He could argue that the House finally passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling, while the Senate has done nothing but kill that bill. If Tuesday's deadline passes with no resolution, Republicans say, voters will blame Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this thinking, the Senate would pass a measure similar to the House bill, perhaps with minor changes to save face and give political cover to Democrats who vote for it. The House would quickly concur, with numerous Democrats and all but the most conservative Republicans voting aye. Obama would have no choice but to sign it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say the opposite is true. Obama has persuasively argued in recent weeks that Republicans are unreasonably demanding, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats control the Senate and White House. If Republicans insist that a partisan, House-passed bill is the only vehicle, then public anger will fall on them, this thinking goes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A $900 billion debt-limit hike would come first, coupled with $917 billion in spending cuts over 10 years. Under the Boehner revision, approval of a balanced-budget constitutional amendment would open a path to another $1.6 trillion in borrowing power, provided that Congress and the president have agreed to another round of spending cuts of that amount or more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama has consistently rejected this condition. He says it would hurt the economy and touch off another ferocious political fight over the debt ceiling, which Congress previously raised with little fuss year after year. Global markets and investors would not be reassured by such a drawn-out, uncertain scenario, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House says the prospect of an economically devastating default must not be used as the \"trigger\" to force Congress to cut the deficit. Such triggers would take effect automatically if Congress did not act on a prescribed deficit-reduction package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those could include deep cuts in programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, which would be painful to Democrats, and tax increases that Republicans would be loath to accept.

The vote would bring President Barack Obama and congressional leaders a step closer to endgame efforts before Tuesday's deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are seeking deep spending cuts in exchange for raising the nation's $14.3 trillion debt limit to allow the government to keep paying its bills. The White House has threatened to veto the GOP bill if it makes it through the Democratic-controlled Senate. Still, getting the newly modified House plan passed on Thursday was seen as an important step toward finding a compromise -- possibly in the Senate. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rival plans by House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid have enough in common -- including the establishment of a special congressional panel to recommend additional spending cuts this fall -- that Reid has hinted a compromise could be achievable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As debate got under way in the House, Reid said the Senate would vote on the GOP bill as soon as the House finished late Thursday -- and predicted it would fail in his chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No Democrat will vote for a short-term Band-Aid that would put our economy at risk and put the nation back in this untenable situation a few short months from now,\" Reid said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, in a closed-door GOP meeting, Boehner, R-Ohio, made headway in securing the 217 votes necessary to pass his plan. No Democrats were expected to support it. Boehner told the Republicans he expected to round up enough votes but was not there yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But today is the day,\" he said, according to people in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers were climbing onboard, though sometimes grudgingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's the best deal we can get,\" said Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, who said he had dropped his opposition. Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., said he would back the measure to ensure that Boehner \"has a seat at the table\" for the final negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critical to Boehner is support from his chamber's 87 freshmen, who lifted the GOP to its House majority last November, many of them with tea party support from the right. More than a dozen freshmen told reporters that a significant number of their class were now backing Boehner's plan\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is not a perfect plan, certainly, but it is a good step forward,\" said Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark., one of the newcomers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House expected Boehner to rally enough Republicans for the measure, with adviser David Plouffe saying it will \"pass out of the House in partisan fashion.\" The House has 240 Republicans and 193 Democrats with two vacancies. Boehner can only afford to lose two dozen members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wall Street warily watched the bitter standoff in Washington. Stocks rose modestly Thursday, based in part on a strong jobs report. A day earlier, nervous investors sent the Dow Jones industrial average down almost 200 points, on top of a 92-point drop a day earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Treasury Department moved ahead with plans to hold its regular weekly auction of three-month and six-month Treasury securities on Monday. The department said it would provide additional information on how it would pay its bills if the deadline should pass without an increase in the nation's borrowing authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Boehner and Reid measures differ in key details, they also share similarities that underscore the concessions made by the two sides in recent days. Reid's bill does not envision a tax increase to reduce deficits, a bow to Republicans. But neither does the House measure require passage of a constitutional balanced budget amendment for state ratification, a step in the direction of Obama and the Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney said, \"What a compromise looks like is pretty clear: significant deficit reduction, a mechanism by which Congress would take on the tough issues of tax reform and entitlement reform, and a lifting of the debt ceiling beyond -- into 2013, so that we do not have the cloud of uncertainty that is hanging over our economy right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the House, Boehner made headway with balky conservatives unhappy that the measure contains smaller spending cuts than a more-stringent debt measure that passed the House last week. The new measure depends on caps on agency budgets to cut more than $900 billion from the deficit over the coming decade while permitting a commensurate increase in the nation's borrowing to allow the government to pay its bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boehner argued that the measure represented \"the best opportunity we have to hold the president's feet to the fire. He wants a $2.4 trillion blank check that lets him continue his spending binge through the next election. This is the time to say no.\" Boehner made the comments Wednesday to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House threatened a veto, saying the bill did not meet Obama's demand for an increase in the debt limit large enough to prevent a rerun of the current crisis next year, in the heat of the 2012 election campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's inconceivable to me that the president would actually follow through on this threat,\" Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell accused Democrats of \"playing with fire\" in planning to block the Boehner proposal in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama supports an alternative drafted by Reid that contains comparable cuts to agency operating budgets but also claims savings from lowball estimates of war costs. Reid's plan would provide a record-breaking $2.7 trillion in additional borrowing authority, enough to tide the government over through 2012. Reid, however, is plainly short of the votes needed to overcome a GOP filibuster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless Congress acts by Tuesday, administration officials say, the government will not be able to pay all its bills. They include $23 billion in Social Security benefits due Aug. 3, an $87 billion payment to investors to redeem maturing Treasury securities and more than $30 billion in interest payments that come due Aug. 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other officials warn that a default could prove catastrophic for an economy still recovering from the worst recession in decades. But some skeptics, including conservative Republicans like Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, say Geithner can manage Treasury's cash flow to avoid a catastrophe if Congress fails to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Republicans tweaked their measure Wednesday to enhance its prospects of passage after a worse-than expected cost estimate from congressional budget analysts on Tuesday. The changes were modest, but under arcane budget conventions, they brought projected savings for 2012 to $22 billion, part of a 10-year cut of $917 billion. That would trigger a $900 billion increase in the debt limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Boehner, the vote shaped up as a critical test of his ability to lead a fractious majority that includes 87 first-term lawmakers, many of them elected with tea party support. Passage also was imperative to maximize Boehner's leverage with Obama and Reid in a fast-approaching endgame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boehner showed fire in a meeting Wednesday with the Republican caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Get your ass in line,\" Boehner told the rank and file. \"I can't do this job unless you're behind me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speaker still faced resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep.

The vote would bring President Barack Obama and congressional leaders a step closer to endgame efforts before Tuesday's deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are seeking deep spending cuts in exchange for raising the nation's $14.3 trillion debt limit to allow the government to keep paying its bills. The White House has threatened to veto the GOP bill if it makes it through the Democratic-controlled Senate. Still, getting the newly modified House plan passed on Thursday was seen as an important step toward finding a compromise -- possibly in the Senate. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rival plans by House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid have enough in common -- including the establishment of a special congressional panel to recommend additional spending cuts this fall -- that Reid has hinted a compromise could be achievable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As debate got under way in the House, Reid said the Senate would vote on the GOP bill as soon as the House finished late Thursday -- and predicted it would fail in his chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No Democrat will vote for a short-term Band-Aid that would put our economy at risk and put the nation back in this untenable situation a few short months from now,\" Reid said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, in a closed-door GOP meeting, Boehner, R-Ohio, made headway in securing the 217 votes necessary to pass his plan. No Democrats were expected to support it. Boehner told the Republicans he expected to round up enough votes but was not there yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But today is the day,\" he said, according to people in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers were climbing onboard, though sometimes grudgingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's the best deal we can get,\" said Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, who said he had dropped his opposition. Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., said he would back the measure to ensure that Boehner \"has a seat at the table\" for the final negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critical to Boehner is support from his chamber's 87 freshmen, who lifted the GOP to its House majority last November, many of them with tea party support from the right. More than a dozen freshmen told reporters that a significant number of their class were now backing Boehner's plan\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is not a perfect plan, certainly, but it is a good step forward,\" said Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark., one of the newcomers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House expected Boehner to rally enough Republicans for the measure, with adviser David Plouffe saying it will \"pass out of the House in partisan fashion.\" The House has 240 Republicans and 193 Democrats with two vacancies. Boehner can only afford to lose two dozen members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wall Street warily watched the bitter standoff in Washington. Stocks rose modestly Thursday, based in part on a strong jobs report. A day earlier, nervous investors sent the Dow Jones industrial average down almost 200 points, on top of a 92-point drop a day earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Treasury Department moved ahead with plans to hold its regular weekly auction of three-month and six-month Treasury securities on Monday. The department said it would provide additional information on how it would pay its bills if the deadline should pass without an increase in the nation's borrowing authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Boehner and Reid measures differ in key details, they also share similarities that underscore the concessions made by the two sides in recent days. Reid's bill does not envision a tax increase to reduce deficits, a bow to Republicans. But neither does the House measure require passage of a constitutional balanced budget amendment for state ratification, a step in the direction of Obama and the Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney said, \"What a compromise looks like is pretty clear: significant deficit reduction, a mechanism by which Congress would take on the tough issues of tax reform and entitlement reform, and a lifting of the debt ceiling beyond -- into 2013, so that we do not have the cloud of uncertainty that is hanging over our economy right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the House, Boehner made headway with balky conservatives unhappy that the measure contains smaller spending cuts than a more-stringent debt measure that passed the House last week. The new measure depends on caps on agency budgets to cut more than $900 billion from the deficit over the coming decade while permitting a commensurate increase in the nation's borrowing to allow the government to pay its bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boehner argued that the measure represented \"the best opportunity we have to hold the president's feet to the fire. He wants a $2.4 trillion blank check that lets him continue his spending binge through the next election. This is the time to say no.\" Boehner made the comments Wednesday to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House threatened a veto, saying the bill did not meet Obama's demand for an increase in the debt limit large enough to prevent a rerun of the current crisis next year, in the heat of the 2012 election campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's inconceivable to me that the president would actually follow through on this threat,\" Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell accused Democrats of \"playing with fire\" in planning to block the Boehner proposal in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama supports an alternative drafted by Reid that contains comparable cuts to agency operating budgets but also claims savings from lowball estimates of war costs. Reid's plan would provide a record-breaking $2.7 trillion in additional borrowing authority, enough to tide the government over through 2012. Reid, however, is plainly short of the votes needed to overcome a GOP filibuster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless Congress acts by Tuesday, administration officials say, the government will not be able to pay all its bills. They include $23 billion in Social Security benefits due Aug. 3, an $87 billion payment to investors to redeem maturing Treasury securities and more than $30 billion in interest payments that come due Aug. 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other officials warn that a default could prove catastrophic for an economy still recovering from the worst recession in decades. But some skeptics, including conservative Republicans like Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, say Geithner can manage Treasury's cash flow to avoid a catastrophe if Congress fails to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Republicans tweaked their measure Wednesday to enhance its prospects of passage after a worse-than expected cost estimate from congressional budget analysts on Tuesday. The changes were modest, but under arcane budget conventions, they brought projected savings for 2012 to $22 billion, part of a 10-year cut of $917 billion. That would trigger a $900 billion increase in the debt limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Boehner, the vote shaped up as a critical test of his ability to lead a fractious majority that includes 87 first-term lawmakers, many of them elected with tea party support. Passage also was imperative to maximize Boehner's leverage with Obama and Reid in a fast-approaching endgame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boehner showed fire in a meeting Wednesday with the Republican caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Get your ass in line,\" Boehner told the rank and file. \"I can't do this job unless you're behind me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The speaker still faced resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, said he is still \"a beat up no\" vote after Thursday's session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plouffe was interviewed on MSNBC.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/35507/live-now-boehner-on-debt-negotiatioins","authors":["80"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_1691"],"label":"news_6944"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
