Boehner has the House majority. Can’t Boehner fight all of it: defund Obamacare, refuse all those tax hikes and defense cuts, and send him Paul Ryan’s budget again, and say “we’re done”?

A few years back, it was a handful of Senate RINOs who stopped up the works; you couldn’t get reforms through without placating the demands of the Snows, Jeffordses, and McCains of that “august” body. There’s no reason now why the House GOP can’t be that roadblock to everything Obama and the Senate RINOs want.

Obama doesn’t want to own the disaster. He will offer no plan.

I suggest that the House take the position that renewing any tax cuts cannot be done without a budget so that the impact can be assessed.

This puts the Democrat Senators on record, and ends the Harry Reid pocket veto of a budget.
