I mean, the guy just won the fucking national election and still they're not allowing him his way, despite majority of the nation voting for it? Boehner was acting like a real prick.
Although on the plus side for the US system, there are no checks and balances here, so when the conservative party came to power in 2012, they rammed through savage cuts to govt spending, much more vigorously than even the Conservative voters themselves had hoped. As a result we had a double dip recession. There's one lesson to be learnt here: cuts don't grow the economy! Someone should tell that to the Republicans.
