Boehner took his case to the American Enterprise Institute, where he promised to reform the "cycle of gridlock" and restore 'a functioning civil society in the House" by "focusing on our collective responsibility to govern."

"Let's let legislators legislate again," Boehner said, summarizing a year's worth of complaints over the Democrats' use of procedural maneuvers like the so-called "Demon Pass."

As it turns out, nobody should have taken Boehner seriously. For example, remember that time you were warned that the GOP don't really care about reducing the deficits? You should, because when I say "that time," I mean, "all of the time." But the editors of the Washington Post only just got the news Monday, so for the benefit of anyone else who's been living beneath a rock lately, here's another reminder, from Brian Beutler.

The incoming House majority has touted their plan to cut the federal budget back to pre-Obama era levels since the mid-term elections, a feat that would involve slashing $100 billion, they've said.

But Monday, House Republicans suggested their budget challenge might require a cut of only $50 to $60 billion.
