There is much rejoicing that not all of the House Republicans voted for the budget measure. But this isn't a proof that Boehner didn't have the votes; after all some House Democrats voted for it.
Let us look at the forest—the political consensus—rather than the trees—individual politicians. The vote shows that a bipartisan coalition of conservative Democrats and non-Tea Party Republicans is the governing consensus of the USA. Which was already pretty obvious.
Now…will this coalition address unemployment? Nope? The housing crisis? Only on technical issues. The banking disaster? Nope.
...and global climate change and other international environmental issues?
Houston, we have a problem.
Croak!
