The HOR is all up for election every two years, so anything they do can get them voted out soon. If they do their job, they’re supposed to control the purse strings. Maybe they’ll start doing their job.

> ““We’re not taking up the Senate bill,” McCarthy declared to a roomful of reporters in his office.”

Senate to McCarthy:

OH YES YOU WILL! WHERE’S BOEHNER? GET BOEHNER OUT OF THE HIS DRUNKEN STUPOR AND TELL HIM TO GET ON THIS OR ELSE, OR ELSE THE GOODS THAT ARE ON HIM WILL BE RELEASED!

Well, at least some people in the House have a survival instinct.

Boxer can’t fix the problems with the country unless she and the entire Democrat coven resigns.

Pelosi and Boehner want the short-term bill to give them time to come up with more ways to spend more money.

But it is good news the Ex-Im is dead for now.
Thank Cruz for that. His efforts made it impossible for the House to pass it now.

It shouldn’t be in the highway bill. But Republicans are idiots for letting the bank expire. Of all the things Republicans could cut, they cut a bank that has generated $7 billion in profits for the Treasury in the last 20 years, and which helps our exporters.

I guess their Chinese masters needed more help competing against Boeing so they ordered the bank terminated.

And I'd be willing to bet a week's pay that Boehner's constituents will AGAIN vote him back into office next election. Same thing with McConnell in 2012. Anyone want to take the other side of that bet?

McCarthy hasn't been around long enough to get rich. He knows his plans are out the door if the base flees in 2016.

The short stint the House Pubbies were in the minority from 2007-2011 must have left an impression on them.

Well Kevin, all I can say is "you better not screw this up, because if you do, you will be in the minority in 2017."

The Bank is a good idea and I’d rather see it reformed than eliminated.
But I’d rather it be eliminated than continue to operate so corruptly.
