Precisely correct. If the worthless Boehner was serious, he’d have attached something like this to the Highway Bill. But, as he is fundamentally un-serious and merely going through the motions of acting like he is opposing Il Douche’s agenda, we will get a series of worthless, symbolic votes.
It is a rank fantasy, but I truly wish that enough rock-ribbed conservatives are elected to the House and Senate to replace the worthless Boehner and McConnell in their “leadership” positions. Boehner can cry into his white flag of surrender and shuffle off to a back bench where he belongs.
If you recall this is how they used the Ryan plan twice. The Boehner House votes on a symbolic non- legislative ‘Ryan Plan’ that was not even a law(cheers) , then they pull out a already agreed to Obama-Reid-McConnell Boehner Debt limit deal and rush through a vote after putting a gun to House members heads to pass it.
Worse yet, now they are crying doomsday over the cuts to the military in that bi-partision debt bill that they passed that Boehner said he got 95% of what he wanted from..
Note the same thing in the Holder contempt vote (going no place) and the Highway pork spending bill passed immediately afterward,
I am watching these weazels closely.
