An old joke, long attributed to Winston Churchill goes like this. Churchill asked a famous British socialite, “Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?” 

“My goodness, Mr. Churchill. Well, I suppose we would have to discuss terms, of course,” the socialite replied. 

Churchill then asked, “Would you sleep with me for five pounds?” at which the socialite angrily responded, “Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?” 

Winston Churchill calmly replied, “Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.” 

That story describes what John Boehner is doing to his own Republican Conference. Boehner wants to establish that the GOP will support tax hikes and decoupling, then he will come back and negotiate the actual deal. When we protest that it’s a tax hike, he will point to this vote and say, “Excuse me?”

I can only guess that the “B” in John Boehner’s plan be stands for bovine excrement. He should be ashamed at the lack of seriousness of his plan.
