The House and the Fiscal Cliff - PT2

BBC News: Reports that the Republican House of Representatives has not signed off on the Senate approved fiscal cliff deal. 

Lets Get Real: 

Enough Republicans will cave as this is the media theme story for days, they have forgotten what happened to Bush 41, he agreed to tax hikes on the promise of cuts, the Democrats took the tax hikes but never produced the welfare cuts, they can not, they would be cutting their own throats.  Thus the Republicans will cave and POTUS will be able to push them around for the next two years.  The Republicans in the House need a new Speaker, Mr Boehner is a terrible poker player, he gave the shop away the day after the election, he agreed to tax hikes even before the last votes were counted.   Time for some Chicago hard ball from the Republicans if they are not to lose in 2014 as Bush 41 lost in 1992 to Bill Clinton.
