– If you were waiting with bated breath for John Boehner to announce a new deal framework today in an effort to avert panic in the Asian markets and stop the US from defaulting ... tough luck. Boehner spoke with House Republicans on a conference call this afternoon, and word is the details of a new proposal to raise the debt ceiling—and, of course, cut spending—will come tomorrow, not today. During the call, Boehner said that a "grand deal" with President Obama isn't possible, the Wall Street Journal reports. Harry Reid is working on his own "back-up plan," rumored to include $2.5 trillion in spending cuts, a $2.5 trillion debt ceiling increase, and no new taxes. Reid and Nancy Pelosi are planning to meet with Obama at 6pm, a source says. Meanwhile, the dollar was trading down against the yen and the Swiss franc, but the Journal notes it's still early.
