Let’s see what comes of it.

What comes of it? Next to nothing, I'll wager.

Even if Grothman is a budget hawk and inserts some innovative key language or provision during the committee process into a budget bill, will it survive markup with a committee chairman beholden to Boehner?

Will it survive to a final version and floor vote in front of a GOP caucus beholden to Boehner?

Will it survive a conference committee negotiation with conferees named by and beholden to Boehner and (worse yet) Mitch McConnell?

If Grothman's innovative and bold budget language survives conferencing and is approved by both Houses, will it survive within a bill signed by President Obama? Or one that returns to both Houses for a 2/3 override vote?

What does it matter? If the establishment knows that you are willing to negotiate a moderation of any one conservative position, they will attempt to compel moderation of ALL conservative positions.
