White House calls on Boehner to hold vote on 'clean' funding bill By Tom Curry, National Affairs Writer, NBC News White House officials on Sunday pushed back on House Speaker John Boehner's assertion that the Republican-controlled lower chamber could not pass a government spending bill or raise the debt ceiling without concessions from Democrats. Appearing on ABC's This Week, Boehner continued to assert that a stopgap government funding measure would not pass the House without GOP supported provisions like delaying the implementation of President Barack Obama's health care law. But top Obama administration officials said Boehner is wrong and called on the Republican leader to schedule a vote. "œWe think that [Boehner's comment] is not true and Boehner should put it on the floor and give it an up or down vote," a senior administration official told NBC News. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer also tweeted at Boehner, demanding him to call for a vote to prove there were not enough votes to pass a bill that would end the government shutdown.

Financial policy experts John Dearie and Courtney Geduldig warn that the ongoing government shutdown harm businesses by creating an uncertain economic climate in an already fragile recovery. "It's tough to run a business even in the best of circumstances," said Dearie, "... so [the government shutdown] doesn't help. It's a lot of additional uncertainty." Geduldig and Dearie's new book, Where the Jobs Are, highlights some of the major issues that job creators are facing across America. One of the things they found is that most new jobs are coming from new businesses, rather than current businesses adding jobs. "It's not that big businesses are not creating jobs, they are creating jobs. But they are finding new ways to be efficient so they're shedding jobs in certain areas and adding them in others and it really ends up being a break even point," Geduldig said. Watch the entire PRESS Pass interview above to hear more about their new book and what they'd like to see out of Washington to make job creation easier around the country.
