One Question for Boehner Plan Supporters

Written by David Frum on Wednesday July 27, 2011

Jen Rubin at the Washington Post has 10 questions for critics of the Boehner plan.

I have just one question for the plan's supporters.

And it is: If the Boehner plan is adopted, exactly what has been accomplished from a Republican point of view that could not have been accomplished by enacting more stringent budgets for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014?

If the Boehner plan is the answer, what was the question?

What exactly has been achieved by the past three months of edging toward national insolvency?
