WASHINGTON -- House Republicans left Wednesday's meeting with President Barack Obama with no signs of seeing eye-to-eye on how to resolve the country's debt and deficit woes.
Republicans had a "very frank" and "productive" discussion with Obama on the debt limit, deficit reduction and jobs, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said after the meeting. Boehner released a statementearlier Wednesday signed by more than 150 economists backing GOP calls for spending cuts that exceed any increase in the debt limit.
