According to a senior House GOP aide, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) spoke with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner this morning and “urged him to scrap the backroom deal with Speaker Pelosi and Leader Reid and begin a conversation with Republicans about what a bipartisan debt commission should look like.” Boehner told Geithner that if President Obama “is serious about Republican participation in this commission then he needs to consult with Republicans on its makeup and structure before it is set up.” Boehner added that he would support a “true bipartisan debt commission” that’s split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats. “We are not willing to be part of a process where the Democrats get to decide which two Republicans are on the panel,” he said. Boehner also would like to have any potential commission report its recommendations prior to the November elections.
