There is nothing they can do. Maybe after January 11, and the new breed sworn in they might find something they can do. The problem is we have a hard core communists black Muslim traitor King Obama and almost the entire Country is part of the communists takeover. Currently there is no legal way to stop this conversion except the Courts. And most of the Court including the Supreme Court are polluted. It will only be 2016 and if we are LUCKY to get the Presidency can we start to do something.

We could have stopped much, but not all, of the conversion in 2012 by going for Romney. America missed the chance in spite of some of us patriots that tried to convince that we had to select the difference between King Obama and Romney. Idiots decided on King Obama.

“There is nothing they can do.”

Since January 2011 the GOP House has controlled the purse strings of government per the US Constitution. Every dime spent since then has been with their approval. At any time they can defund programs, positions in the bureaucracy, and even entire departments. They also have the power to change what Washington calls “non discretionary” spending.

They have and have had the power. The problem is they don’t have the backbone, confidence, courage or desire to play Obama’s game. Worse, they made themselves look foolish in 2013 by starting to stand up to Obama and then wilting when they were falsely accused of shutting down the government. It is pathetic they can’t hire a decent PR person to write their talking points, much less stay on message.

What they can and should have been doing for the last 4 years is sending individual spending bills for each department to the Senate for approval, well in advance of the October 1 beginning of the next fiscal year. These bills should build spending plans from the bottom up with a full review of each program so worthless programs and outright gifts to leftist activist groups can be eliminated. Under a real, and disciplined, budget process if the Senate fails to pass the spending bill the House can accuse the Senate of shutting down the government since the House sent a funding bill to the Senate and the Senate rejected it. If the House and Senate pass a spending bill for a department, and the President vetoes the bill, Congress can rightly accuse the President of shutting down the government.

If the President complains the bills sent to him are not sufficient, the leaders of Congress should tell him to have one of the members of his party introduce a supplement appropriations bill in the House which they will consider. Until then he (the President) needs to sign the spending bill on his desk to keep the government from shutting down.

There is plenty they can do. It is sad they have been choosing not to do anything for four years.
