Coburn overrides Boehner

From Senator's Coburn's pen (actually keyboard, I suspect):

"The public rightly prefers spending cuts over revenue increases, but numerous polls indicate the vast majority of Americans would support the only type of plan that would ever make it out of Congress and be signed into law: one that favors spending cuts over revenue increases but includes both."

So I guess new taxes are on the table, eh Mr. Speaker?

Why is the Senate stalling on the debt debate?

Rhetorical answer -- maybe because the GOP has demagogued the issue for so long, the Democrats aren't going to walk the plank for them now.
