Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) accused House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) of deliberately sabotaging the economy for partisan gain. “You have heard, as I’ve heard, that there’s a battle going on between Cantor and [House Speaker John] Boehner as to whether or not there should be a [highway] bill,” Reid told reporters. “Cantor, of course — I’m told by others that he wants to not do a bill to make the economy worse, because he feels that’s better for them. I hope that’s not true.”
