state economies. moody s warned five states could face downgrades because of their dependence on federal money. tennessee, maryland, new mexico, south carolina, and virginia. in fact, virginia s governor, bob mcdonnell, has now switched his tune. he says a compromise must happen to avoid devastating the country. even the big banks are collectively begging congress to get a move on, to make an agreement happen, warning if they don t, the consequences will be grave. so my big question today, what kind of warning will it take to get lawmakers to move from these entrenched positions? congressman, good to see you today. thank you. good to be here. how are you going to vote on the boehner bill? i m going to vote no. the boehner bill is ridiculous. it s an extreme bill, one-sided. they know it has no chance of passing the senate. this is political theater at its worst so they can go home, blame the president, blame the democrats, instead of working
that would take this thing all the way to the end, to the president s desk, to avoid a default. the idea here on capitol hill is that house republicans will pass this, it will die in the senate but they will stand firm and saying nothing is going to pass the house, go all the way to the very end. harry reid said yesterday it will be altered. it remains to be seen whether that altered version can get back through the house. house republicans feel if they pass this today, they have done their job, they don t have to do anything else and the president essentially will have their plan, take it or leave it, default will be on his shoulders. somebody just said to me this morning i m not voting for anybody who stands in the way of getting a deal done but i guess that s in the eye of the beholder. who is threatening to veto, threatening to vote against it. are you willing to go to any extreme to get a deal done. we ll be watching it. gentlemen, thank you both. appreciate it. the secretary
