I was curious about which House members are firmly opposed to Boehner’s debt reduction plan — and I had a surprisingly hard time finding a list.
The Hill has a list here. A sizable number of Republican representatives are still on the undecided/unclear list (profiles in courage!).
Here’s The Hill’s list of those who are either a firm no or leaning no. I’ll put the legislators from Georgia, S.C., and Florida in bold. Clearly the Southeast is doing its part to push the nation to default. South Carolina’s entire House delegation opposes the Boehner plan. Secession, anyone?
