John Boehner: “I want to pay the interest on the debt. I want to look after our seniors; that's Medicare, Social Security. And then I…”

This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I have seen in the 19 years I have been here in Washington.

The modern Republican Party is filled with, as John Boehner put it, people who spend more time tearing things apart than actually building anything.

I once met him in New York during the Obama years to plead with him to put a leash on some of the crazies he was putting on the air. It was making my job trying to accomplish anything conservative that much harder.

For a bill that was supposed to be about jobs, jobs, jobs, has turned into a bill that`s all about spending, spending, and spending.
