Can an argument be made at this point that the House GOPers aren't economic terrorists?
I don't think so ...
Their plan to avert default fizzling, House Republicans are reportedly considering passing their bill and then skipping town.
According to Politico, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) are discussing "voting on their bill and, if it passes, leaving town — a bid to try to force the Senate’s hand."
House GOP leadership drew pushback Tuesday from both the White House and conservatives almost immediately after unveiling their debt limit proposal, which may not even have sufficient support to pass the lower chamber.
