Breaking: Boehner Making Changes To Budget Balance Amendment Part Of His Plan. Jeff Flake To Vote Yes Now

Just starting to get word of the changes after the House GOP caucus but it sounds like the 2nd part of the hike would be tied to passage of a BBA.

With Flake saying he's a yes, it's likely that Boehner can get it through the House.

As much fun as this has been, it's nothing compared to what's going to happen when they try and pass whatever deal Boehner and Reid wind up cutting. Any final deal is going to lose something or somethings that conservatives want to vote yes. They'll be trading GOP votes for Democrat ones in the House. Should be a blast!

FWIW- Club for Growth will remove it's opposition if "Balanced" is put back in.
