Boehner downbeat on cliff talks



Boehner downbeat on cliff talks
John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, warned that there was a “real danger” of the US economy falling over the fiscal cliff as he lamented “no substantive progress” in the past two weeks of talks with the White House.
After speaking on the phone with Barack Obama, US president, on Wednesday night and holding a “frank” meeting with Tim Geithner, the treasury secretary, on Thursday, Mr Boehner said Democrats “have yet to get serious about spending cuts”.
