WASHINGTON—Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, criticized the president's debt plan, calling it campaign rhetoric, in a speech before an insurance agents' group.
Speaking at the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America's (IIABA) Legislative Conference breakfast, part of the association's Legislative Conference and Convention held here this week, Boehner said, "It is 18 months before the election and the president is out there giving a campaign speech as opposed to saying something serious about how we deal with the debt limit and how we deal with the fiscal crisis that we face."
