Conservative Debt Limit Plan Shelved

Conservative Debt Limit Plan Shelved-thehill: Speaker John A. Boehner said he hoped to raise the debt limit before he resigns from Congress, but he’s running out of time to meet the Nov. 3 deadline in advance of his scheduled Oct. 30 departure.  The Ohio Republican has five more legislative days to avoid a federal government default before the politically messy task falls to his successor.
