that the bill has in there the terms that were discussed with the senate majority leader harry reid. with provisions that he likes in there. greta: so the onus is against president obama? he doesn t get a vote that will take him through the election so he doesn t have to talk about spending cuts and taxes again while in an election year. since when is that the dictator of what we ve got to do to get the fiscal health of this country right? greta: suppose the boehner bill doesn t pass? members of congress had made s to vet you with you and you can peel off enough democrats what happens? you got default, [ talking over each other ] our plan or harry reid s plan. if nothing else, the harry reid plan is sitting there. harry reid does not have the vets now for that plan which
