Over the next week, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) plans to jam two big-ticket items through the House a show of strength for a leadership team stung by a string a defeats and facing doubts about whether it even can govern, Politico reports.
First, to get a budget approved, the Republican leaders intend to employ a parliamentary maneuver to boost defense spending by $20 billion without any corresponding spending cuts. Theyre betting the move will help break a stalemate between fiscal hardliners and defense hawks. Within days of that, the GOP leaders will try to pass a permanent fix to the Sustainable Growth Rate, a formula by which the federal government reimburses doctors who serve Medicare patients.
