OK, as much as I have said I would never go to that septic pit, I’ll take it. First order of business: letter to Obama...not now, not ever. Second order of business...national press conference as second in the line to Presidency: “the games are over”....we pass a tax and spending bill now and send it over to freckless Harry by some form of conveyance meant to draw media coverage to show where the buck stops if nothing gets done on it...perhaps by elephant.
The GOP House desperately needs to draw the line at continuing this sham of a budget "process" where last year's departmental budgets are automatically expanded by X or Y% and the House and Senate have no responsibility.
A new Speaker would be advised to pass a tax & spennding measure, send it to the Senate...and go into recess. Once the Senate acted on the bill and an "as amended" version was ready for Conference Committee, the House would then go back into session and a proper budget would emerge.
Given the specifications in the Constitution, the House would be fully justified in taking such drastic action -- and the GOP would benefit from the cause celebre they had created.
