The Budget Control Act..Impeahcment...
The Budget Control Act takes an important step in the right direction by cutting $1.2 trillion in government spending over the next decade. Critically, it does this without resorting to Senator Reid’s gimmicks and without imposing the president’s preferred tax increases on American families and the struggling economy.
This bill is far from perfect. We still have a long way to go toward getting the key drivers of our debt — especially federal health-care spending — under control. But considering that House Republicans control only one-half of one-third of the federal government, I support this reasonable, responsible effort to cut government spending, avoid a default, and help create a better environment for job creation.

Rep. Steve King said President Barack Obama would be impeached if the United States falls into default on its debt.
Writing on Twitter, the Iowa Republican declared: “STOP talking about default. The 1st dime of each $1 of revenue services debt. Obama would be impeached if he blocked debt payments. C C & B!”
King was referring to the “Cut, Cap and Balance” plan, passed by the House, that would introduce a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. Rep. King supports the plan, but the Senate dismissed it last week.
