Boehner Rejects Obama Budget Proposal

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) “immediately dismissed” President Obama’s package “of significant new entitlement cuts tied to new tax revenues, calling them ‘no way to lead and move the country forward,'” Politico reports.

“The White House had portrayed the proposal, part of the budget it will release next week, as a compromise with Congressional Republicans that could have put them on track for another run at a grand bargain.”
