Brett LoGiurato reports that House Speaker John Boehner made a counter-offer in fiscal cliff negotiations. His spokesman Michael Steel issued a brief statement:
“We sent the White House a counter-offer that would achieve tax and entitlement reform to solve our looming debt crisis and create more American jobs. As the Speaker said today, we’re still waiting for the White House to identify what spending cuts the president is willing to make as part of the ‘balanced approach’ he promised the American people. The longer the White House slow-walks this process, the closer our economy gets to the fiscal cliff.”
