“When confronted about this Boehner and his flunkies use the excuse that “we’re only one-half of one-third of the government.” Well Mr. Speaker, that’s about as weak an excuse as there is because the one-half of one-third that you control, just happens to control all the purse strings. In case you forgot, the House controls one hundred percent of the spending and taxing authority of the Federal Government.”
EXACTLY
“In case you forgot, the House controls one hundred percent of the spending and taxing authority of the Federal Government.”
But without IT passing in the Senate and being signed into law by the President. It is not worth the paper it is written on.
There in lies the problem no matter how much we want to cut the budget. The house is only 1/3 of the process needed.
