Vote: Should the Boehner Budget Bill Pass?

With the United States on the verge of defaulting on its debt, both Republicans and Democrats are working furiously to push their agenda.  The only person who seems to be on the sidelines is President Obama, who repeated has stated that he has "a plan," but refuses to release any details on paper about it.

One man that has pushed a bill is Republican John Boehner.  Mr. Boeher's bill would increase the debt ceiling nearly one trillion dollars and sets up the nation for another debate over the debt (and deficit) several months from now.  Democrats in the Senate have unanimously said that they would vote against the bill, even though they claim that they want the ceiling raised.  Most likely, Democrats will unanimously vote against the bill in the House.

However, the majority of the House is Republican.  Yet, the bill is facing serious trouble, as many Tea Party Republicans are opposed to it for several reasons.  This includes the lack of a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution, a wish for deeper cuts, and/or a belief that the debt ceiling shouldn't be raised in the first place.

So, the question is: Do you believe that Speaker of the House John Boehner's bill should pass?
