Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Republicans decide not to do their jobs.
Republicans vacating the Capitol are dumping a big spring cleaning job on Democrats moving in. GOP leaders have opted to leave behind almost a half-trillion-dollar clutter of unfinished spending bills.
There's also no guarantee that Republicans will pass a multibillion-dollar measure to prevent a cut in fees to doctors treating Medicare patients.
The bulging workload that a Republican-led Congress was supposed to complete this year but is instead punting to 2007 promises to consume time and energy that Democrats had hoped to devote to their own agenda upon taking control of Congress in January for the first time in a dozen years.
Also via TPM, this sums it up pretty well.
You've got it all wrong, 'r. By not finishing these spending bills, the Republicans are once again proving that they are the party of fiscal responsibility.
