...The President should talk "compromise" right up to December 31st. At that time, the ball is then in their court. They have to do something.

Also, the President can keep them in Washington over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays in emergency session until they decide to get their stuff together.

Also, he could request that they work on an over-all tax reform, based on the knowledge attained thru the tax returns of Mitt Romney, their late and great nominee. We need to close those loopholes.

We will stay here until the people's business is done.

It is your call, Mr Boehner...
