RE :”Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, insisted, furthermore, that if President Obama tries to advance amnesty or any other initiative through illegal executive orders, he can be stopped, because the House holds the purse strings and can cut off funding for actions that can’t be justified legally.
“The power of the purse is the secret to this guy – the most illegal, unlawful president in American history,” said Culberson, who had just returned from a GOP retreat in Cambridge, Md., where House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, distributed a two-page list of broad principles on immigration. “

I guess his audience doesn't know that a budget was already signed into law.

So far the House has given a free pass to the Marxists to spend what they want.

The RINO-E party is the go along to get along party and has done severe damage to our country and our freedoms due to their crony capitalism and fear of violating the rules of Political Correctness.
