As John Boehner’s plan for resolving the current debt solution simply relied on raising the nation’s debt ceiling, it was doomed to fail from the start. With strong resistence from both parties to Boehner’s plan, it seems that plans by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) are favorites for implementation.
Now, however, he has ammended his plan to include budget balancing provisions. Though many are still skeptical, it seems that this is his latest bid to reach out to Tea Party supporters and activists.
It has already made a splash amongst other Republicans, who have vowed to vote for the ammended proposal.
In contrast, the change has been seen as ideological based politics, the result of which will hurt the American people by delaying collaboration between Democrats and Republicans. Boehner, however, is hopeful that it will bring the situation closer to resolution.
