Boehner's failure to corral his members reached a peak on Tuesday when he could not persuade them to go along with a plan to end the shutdown and avert default. The resulting reaction from the media would be enough to make any Republican weep, let alone the already tear-prone speaker. Apparently Boehner's last nite failure to get one piece of legislation onto the House floor for a vote shook up a lot of politicos. Not sure why..........to me it seemed like more of the same but it seems things had dropped to a new low.

The economy is always in a state of panic. You obviously forgot about the Panics of 1792, 1796, 1819 and 1825. The Panic of 1857 and 1873 was a direct result of the above panics and led to the following ones. The Panic of 1884 and the ensuing Panic of 1890 plus the unforgettable Panic of 1893. This was followed by the Panic of 1896 and led to the Panic of 1901 and the panic of Panics in 1907 and of course the 1910–1911 Panic. Which all led to the Great Depression and Great Recession we are reeling from today. en.wikipedia.org

Representative Peter King of New York urged more Republican officials to speak up about Senator Ted Cruz and “condemn him for what he did.” Representative Aaron Schock of Illinois said the lesson of the episode was that Boehner should cut out the far-right flank and work with centrist Democrats. Most of the top conservatives who pushed the House GOP into an Obamacare fight weren’t very introspective, offering positive words about the fight and hope for victories to come. One conservative, however, did say he had learned a valuable lesson. “Don’t bite off more than you can chew,” said Representative Dana Rohrabacher of California.
