Boehner rewriting debt limit plan as clock ticks
Jul 27, 7:17 AM (ET)
By ANDREW TAYLOR
WASHINGTON (AP) - Neither the House nor the Senate has a clear path forward for must-pass legislation to allow the government to continue to borrow to pay its bills, putting lawmakers and financial markets alike on edge less than a week before the deadline for heading off the nation's first-ever default.
House Speaker John Boehner was forced late Tuesday to postpone a floor vote on his plan, which originally had been scheduled for Wednesday
Freshman Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., bristled at the idea that tea party-influenced newcomers are sheep-like ideologues willing to risk default.
"We're not a bunch of knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing Neanderthals," Gowdy said. "We're interested in answering what we perceive to be the mandate, which is to stop the spending and change the way Washington handles money."
Gowdy said he was leaning against Boehner's proposal.

Marge: [groans in frustration] You said this monkey would be sweeping the floors and cleaning the gutters. And now, he just lies there, struggling to breathe!
Homer: What do you want? His cholesterol's through the roof.
Marge: I want you to take that monkey back, so he can be rehabilitated and get a second chance.
Homer: No, no, he's fine! Go on, Mojo! Show Marge your happy dance!
