FILE - In this April 1, 2011, file photo House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio pauses during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington to discuss GOP efforts to create jobs and cut spending. The dilemma facing Boehner to pass a fast-approaching spending compromise and avert a government shutdown is to get the overwhelming majority of votes to come from fellow Republicans, even if dozens of easily attainable Democratic votes could help carry the budget bill to victory.

Boehner said he wants President Barack Obama to support Republican efforts to make deep cuts in this year's budget as a down payment in the effort to attack soaring deficits. He sent a letter to the President saying the path to prosperity for the country means "liberating our economy from the shackles of out-of-control government spending and big government."

Republicans used their first two weeks in power, interrupted by tributes to the Arizona shooting victims, to excoriate the health law. Boehner says the next big priority is to codify a perennially renewed ban on federal funding for abortion, and to specify that it applies to health plans. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) (AP)

The absurd, pointless healthcare repeal debate

FILE - In a Jan. 5, 2011 file photo, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio reenacts the swearing in of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., on Capitol Hill in Washington. She loves motorcycles and yoga, and is as comfortable in a business suit walking the halls of Congress as she is clad in leather riding gear at the famed Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. She holds a master's degree in urban planning, yet can mount a tire in a flash. Pretty and petite, sometimes soft-spoken, she will take on even her most ardent adversaries and try talking them down with a firm hand but also a smile. Said one friend of Gabrielle Giffords: "She really pretty much defies a lot of description." (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File) (AP)
