The GOP House Has a Mandate Too
The president's people are saying he has a mandate from the American people. Yet the GOP gained seats in the House. That says something about what the American people want from their legislators. They need to frame their own financial plan, hold a vote and present it to the Senate. They'll do nothing about it, but it will set the stage for negotiations for a compromise from what they've crafted, rather than wait on the prez.
