WASHINGTON - US House Speaker John Boehner is reworking his budget plan after an analysis found that its spending cuts fall short of what he promised, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
"We promised that we will cut spending more than we increase the debt limit -- with no tax hikes -- and we will keep that promise," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said. "As we speak, congressional staff are looking at options to rewrite the legislation to meet our pledge."
