What I’m puzzled about is how the “Senate” controls this when it’s a spending issue that by law has to originate in the House? Not that Boner would do anything to reign in spending.

Taxing (bills for raising revenue) has to originate in the house. Spending can originate in either chamber.

See US Constitution, Article I, Section 7.

Not picking on you, but I am amazed at how many people express the belief that spending bills have to originate in the House.

And since when did this administration ever follow the laws of this land? They do what they damn well please and the “house” once again stands by and watches.

My first thought too. Do laws mean anything at all, anymore? /rhetorical
