(Before It's News)

House Republicans on Thursday passed the first of two bills aimed at averting the looming fiscal crisis, approving a plan that would replace sweeping cuts to defense and other programs with cuts elsewhere in the budget. Apparently Boehner can’t count. Now he has the GOPers out on a ledge with this vote.

The bill narrowly passed, on a 215-209 vote.

Up next, though, is a highly controversial bill that would prevent tax hikes for everyone except those making more than $1 million. Together, the bills amount to what House Speaker John Boehner is calling a “Plan B.”

The tax vote is expected to be close, as Boehner already lost 21 Republicans on the first bill.
