Reporting from Washington House Speaker John A. Boehner said Monday that Republicans wanted trillions in budget cuts in exchange for their vote to increase the nation's borrowing limit and avoid default, adopting a hard line on the party's position in a speech before major players on Wall Street.
Boehner told the Economic Club of New York that his party wanted specific spending cuts not future targets that would trigger spending reductions or revenue increases, as President Obama has proposed.
