Currently the government is spending very little on Obamacare. What I want to know is were we asleep at the switch when the unfunded Drug program was passed in the last administration? So far as the House forcing Obama to veto their bills, ain’t gonna happen as the bills also have to be passed by the Senate before they go to the president. Even if the next president is a Republican bills will still have to be passed by the Senate, and even if there are more Republicans in the Senate after next election, there still are unlikely to be enough votes for the supermajority needed to pass bills favored by conservatives and tea party people. Thus, no matter who is president, compromise will be needed unless the people prefer gridlock.

Reid won’t let any bill get to Obama that would be vetoed. Senate takes the heat,head of the ticket remains above the fray.
