Sen. Daniel Inouye issued a frank response to the passage of House Speaker John Boehner‘s plan to raise the debt ceiling Friday evening. 

“We’re going to defeat it and offer our version,” Inouye said via a spokesman. 

Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa had this to say, in a statement issued by her spokeswoman: 

“I could not support Speaker Boehner’s short-term plan because it puts us back in this same situation a few short months from now – and puts off making the tough decisions we need to make to restore our economic integrity.”

Congresswoman Mazie Hirono‘s office released this statement: 

“Speaker Boehner’s bill is far from what Americans want. It’s long past time for Congress to pass a bill that can reach the President’s desk.”
