Mr. Boehner voted "aye" to extend the debt on February 8, 1996, on March 12, 1996, March 29, 1996, August 5, 1997, June 28, 2002, November 19, 2004, March 20, 2006, and October 3, 2008," Hoyer said. "Mr. Cantor voted to increase the national debt [limit] on June 28, 2002, when Mr. Bush was President, on November 19, 2004, when Mr. Bush was President, on March 20, 2006, when Mr. Bush was President, and October 3, the last time he did it, when Mr. Bush was President.... For Mr. Cantor to say that it was a major concession by the Republicans to sit down at the table to discuss getting to an agreement is an extraordinary comment to be made in a democracy."
