Last week it was all “Boehner Embarrassed,” “Boehner Loses Control,” “Boehner Speakership in Peril,” and so on.
That was last week. So … what was. Yesterday was a new week, a new vote, a new deal and the House adopted the bill to raise the debt limit and cut just shy of a trillion dollars in spending by a vote of 269-161.
174 Republicans voted for the bill; 66 voted against. Democrats split 95-95. Three Democrats didn’t vote.
