Well, not long after my last post questioning whether the GOP was united on the Ryan budget, the House Republican Conference issued a press release entitled, "House Republican Leaders United on GOP Budget – Say Tax Hikes Off the Table."
Apparently, Republican leadership is determined to convey a united front. The following is from Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Hensarling, Upton, and Camp:
Yesterday, we began negotiations with the Democrats who run Washington regarding the Administration’s request for a debt limit increase. House Republicans are united in our approach to achieve real and immediate spending cuts and reforms today. These reforms and others are included in the Path to Prosperity, which passed the House with the strongest majority of any budget in more than a decade. We want to help our economy grow and create jobs, which is why everything must be on the table except increasing taxes. This has been and remains the Republican position. We are committed to our budget and to making the reforms necessary to grow our economy and create jobs, preserve and strengthen Medicare, and put our nation on a path to pay down the debt.
