Boehner’s Office To White House: Present A Plan That Can Pass Congress

House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) office offered a rejoinder to the White House’s rejection of its fiscal cliff counter-proposal, inviting President Obama to come up with a plan that can pass Congress.

“Republicans have once again offered a responsible, balanced plan to avoid the fiscal cliff, and the White House has once again demonstrated how unreasonable it has become,” Boehner’s spokesman Brendan Buck said in a statement emailed to TPM. “If the President is rejecting this middle ground offer, it is now his obligation to present a plan that can pass both chambers of Congress.”

He did, John. It’s sitting on your desk. It’s that bill that would make tax cuts for 98% of Americans permanent. Do you have the balls to put it to a vote?
