Boehner's Plan Leaked by Wapo's Jennifer Rubin - Says Dems Will Have to Accept it
by Steven

Jennifer Rubin, The Washington Post's mouthpiece for the House Republicans has written a column based on a Republican Aide that claims John Boehner will release the following plan in opposition to Senator Reid's plan and try to cram it down the Democrats' throats:

Boehner's plan meets House Republicans’ criteria by (1) making spending cuts that are larger than any debt ceiling increase; (2) implementing spending caps to restrain future spending; and (3) advancing the cause of the Balanced Budget Amendment — without tax hikes on families and job creators. While this is not the House-passed “Cut, Cap, & Balance,” it is a package that reflects the principles of Cut, Cap, & Balance. Here is more information on the plan:

●Cuts That Exceed The Debt Hike. The framework would cut and cap discretionary spending immediately, saving $1.2 trillion over 10 years (subject to CBO confirmation), and raise the debt ceiling by less — up to $1 trillion.

●Caps To Control Future Spending. The framework imposes spending caps that would establish clear limits on future spending and serve as a barrier against government expansion while the economy grows. Failure to remain below these caps will trigger automatic across-the-board cuts (otherwise known as sequestration).

●Balanced Budget Amendment. The framework ... the House and Senate to vote on the measure after October 1, 2011 ...

●Entitlement Reforms & Savings...

●No Tax Hikes....

3. Ms. Rubin hasn't been having the best week

Over the weekend, before the details had quite come out, she sought out a mouthpiece at the American Enterprise Institute who stated categorically and definitively that the Norway massacre was the work of Al Qaeda. Rubin quoted Gary Schmitt extensively, without contradiction and with apparent approval.

So what she has to say about what Democrats "will have" to do should be taken with somewhere between a grain of salt and a truckload of sodium chloride.
