The House controls the purse strings.

The Republicans control the House.

Not that you’d know it watching these freaks of nature.

There are doing a pretty good job of controlling the purse IMHO, I just don't think an all or nothing approach is going to win this argument or is even really helpful. It took years to get into this mess, it is going to take a few years to get out of it. The most important thing to do is elect TP people in 2012 and a TP friendly president, Then we can curb the federal beast, all we are doing now is reelecting Rats and Obama.
