WASHINGTON (AP)
Speaker John Boehner says that by keeping Republicans in control of the House, voters made clear there’s no mandate for raising tax rates.
Boehner, however, offered to work with any willing partner, Republican or Democrat, to get things done.
Speaking to Republican supporters, Boehner’s statement Tuesday night offered no compromise on GOP opposition to President Barack Obama’s call for increasing tax rates for wealthy Americans.
Boehner said the American people showed they backed the GOP position on reducing spending by renewing the party’s House majority.
He said that in the face of a staggering national debt, Republicans offered solutions while their opponents chose inaction.
The speaker said the government spends too much, taxes too much and borrows too much.

Boener is an arrogant Idiot --- sad to say he ifs from Ohio.
Four more years of grid lock with Boehner in the House who puts his own interest ahead of whats needed to get the country`s financial house in order.
So he is a idiot because he believes that we spend too much, tax too much and borrow too much, and you, call him, a idiot. How much extra will you add to your income taxes this year if you do actually pay taxes!!!
"can't fix stupid"
