In a statement to reporters, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) hit House Speaker John Boehner for demanding another debt limit showdown…after he violated the terms of last year’s deal.

“It is pretty galling for Speaker Boehner to be laying down demands for another debt ceiling agreement when he won’t even abide by the last one,” Schumer said. “The last thing the country needs is a rerun of last summer’s debacle that nearly brought down our economy.”
