Boehner Plays Grinch To Obama's Santa Claus

House Speaker John Boehner is calling President Obama out on his latest proposal for infrastructure investment — $40 billion for maintenance, under a “fix it first” ethic.

Boehner's beef with the plan? There's no revenue stream attached to it.According to Boehner, "It’s easy to go out there and be Santa Claus and talk about all these things you want to give away, but at some point, somebody’s got to pay the bill.”

DC Streetsblog has the whole story.
