| House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio speaks about the ongoing budget battle, Oct. 8, 2013, outside his office on Capitol Hill in Washington. |
U.S. House of Representatives Republicans are weighing a short-term
debt limit increase with no added policy changes, such as
deficit-reduction requirements, according to a source with knowledge of
the discussions.
The source, who asked not to be identified, said the initiative gained steam after the Heritage Foundation began pushing for this kind of straight-forward debt limit increase, albeit a short-term one, that Democrats have been insisting upon.
If such a bill moves forward in the House it would represent a major shift in position.
