Boehner threatens to poke himself in the eye with a sharp stick unless the ACA is delayed for two weeks
That’s going to be the headline on Politico in two hours if things continue on the track that they are on now.
WASHINGTON — House Republicans will soon present a third proposal to keep the federal government funded, but it seems all but certain to be rejected by the Senate, just like the two that came before it.
With just hours to go before the government shuts down, the office of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) confirmed that it will put together a new continuing resolution with amendments attached to it that will delay Obamacare’s individual mandate for one year and end the employer healthcare contribution for members of Congress and their staff.
A shut downs coming and I predict I will enjoy it immensely, the Republicans not so much. All polls say the Republicans will receive the bulk of the blame, successfully shooting themselves in the foot just like in the nineties. They have, once again, learned nothing.
