Although they won't do it,
Pubs know exactly how Congress has always worked, in the past. They have to compromise. The Senate would have to agree to some of the House’s spending cuts, and the House would have to agree to some of the Senate’s spending increases and the tax increases on the rich to pay for them. As the country has learned in recent years, however, House Republicans are incapable of compromise on those issues.
Being intransigent in a formal budget conference, however, will put Republicans in a bind. The public will be able to see that Democrats are offering billions in spending cuts while Republicans are offering nothing. SO, the Pubs 'Just say No', in their rendition of 'fiddling while Rome burns'. Sickening, but typical behavior, by a crew that cares for nothing but their own re-election.
