Greg Corombos and Jim Geraghty of National Review enjoy predictions of strong GOP gains in the Senate in 2012 and 2014. They debate whether Republicans are getting wobbly on spending cuts and showcase what may be the worst action from the Left thus far in the Wisconsin budget showdown.
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives easily approved a continuing resolution to fund the federal government for another two weeks while also trimming about four billion dollars in spending. So why are House Republicans doing this after passing a continuing resolution for the rest of this fiscal year just a couple of weeks ago? Will we see a funding debate every two weeks for the next seven months? Are Republicans ready to embrace smaller cuts if Democrats demand it? How is this funding vote key to job creation? And what can we expect in the debate over the debt ceiling in just a few weeks? We discuss it all with Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, vice chairman of the Joint Economic Committee and member of the House Ways and Means Committee.
