Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) will hold a vote on his “Plan B” legislation to lock in tax rates on households with less than $1 million in annual income even if he thinks it will fail on the floor, a senior GOP lawmaker told The Hill.Some Republicans and conservative groups, including the Club for Growth, opposed Boehner’s plan because tax rates on annual income above $1 million would be allowed to expire.But Boehner and other GOP leaders believe that even if the measure fails, it will show President Obama that Republicans won’t vote for a “fiscal cliff” deal unless it includes significant spending cuts.
i'm tired of them talking about social program cuts then proceed to waste millions with their Punch and Judy politics, what is the purpose in wasting money on a vote that goes to nowhere, where is the lesson the Pres. is suppose to learn?
political posturing is "Taking a position on an issue strictly because it is politically advantageous to do so. For example, being against something solely because the other side is in favor of it."

“[GOP leaders] are just now trying to come up with some raw numbers and then I'm sure there'll be decisions after that but I think he's going to go through with it regardless,” the lawmaker said. “It would show the president that he doesn't even have the votes for [tax cuts] with no [spending] cuts.”
vindictive republican politics are why the country is where it is 2014 will bring no difference in right wing attitude neither will 2016, Americans remember who is playing dominoes with your future.
