CQ Roll Call May 18, 2013

Turf Wars Brewing Over Deficit Panel

Speaking at the annual Ideas Forum in Washington, D.C., last week, Boehner reiterated that he is “firmly committed to ensuring that the so-called super committee come to an outcome and a successful outcome. ... I made it clear to the Republican members of the super committee that I expect there will be an outcome, that there has to be an outcome.”

But Boehner refused to set limits for the committee. When asked whether the deal could include tax reform, he said, “I’m not gonna predict what they will or won’t do but there has to be an outcome.”
