Split between Boehner and Cantor on budget deal?

“Time is up here,” said the Virginia Republican, telling reporters that a short-term continuing resolution “without a long-term commitment is unacceptable” and that the leadership must push for the full $61 billion in spending cuts approved by the House last month…

Cantor controls the pacing of legislation on the House floor and will decide when to schedule any future continuing resolution to keep the government operating after the current resolution expires April 8. Second — and more important politically — he risks undercutting efforts by the speaker’s office to bridge the House’s differences with President Barack Obama while also contending with tea party freshmen resistant to compromise.

Indeed, at a news conference just hours after Cantor’s comments, Boehner refused to rule out another short-term spending bill and didn’t walk away from the fact that in the course of negotiations, smaller cuts have been discussed — albeit without agreement.
