Unable to even come close to getting more than half of his caucus’ support, House Republicans led by the ever-capitulating John Boehner voted 257-167 in support of legislation brokered by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden that in no way “averts” the contrived “Fiscal Cliff”- the measure now awaits president’s signature.The bill increases income tax rates on individuals making over $400,000 and households making over $450,000 annually, significantly increases government spending and once again kicks many of the so-called “fiscal cliff” issues down the road, including the 1.2 trillion dollars of mostly defense cuts that still loom. March 1st will be the date of the next manufactured “crisis” while the country deficit spending sails into oblivion.

The chasm between the conservative wing of the Republican party- including Senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, who both voted Nay on the McConnell compromise- and Democrats along with their Republican capitulators continues to expand. It’s been reported that Boehner told Senate Majority Leader to “go f#$@ himself”– too bad such animus wasn’t directed towards the president and his sham of deal that accomplishes nothing meritorious as we continue to hurl towards a sovereign debt crisis and certain economic oblivion.
