Two Reasons The Republicunts Will Hate This

[Lek]

The only reason that the Budget Control Act ever happened is because of a compromise between the Obama and the Boehner.  Obama and the dems wanted to raise the debt limit substantially and the GOP wanted spending cuts in return. The republicans also tried to pass a balanced budget amendment which didn't pass.  The reason Boehner had reservations is because the agreement allowed the debt ceiling to go up more than the republicans wanted and didn't allow the offsetting spending cuts.  If the republicans wouldn't have opposed raising the debt ceiling, Obama would have never considered any such thing as the Budget Control Act.
