| Description | If President Barack Obama is looking for an example of House Republican dysfunction to use during this campaign season, he should look no further than the GOP’s efforts to pass a highway bill championed by Speaker John Boehner.
After considering several iterations of legislation aimed at rebuilding the nation’s crumbling infrastructure paid for by increased energy production, leadership privately concedes they’re at a standstill and don’t know what to do.
They originally planned to have the bill completed by mid-February. Now, it won’t even be on the floor next week. Many Republicans involved say a stopgap measure to avert a shutdown of the nation’s infrastructure building apparatus on March 31 is likely. But there are only 12 legislative days left before current policy expires. |
