LaHood, a Republican who served in the House, called in to C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" show to rip Congress for not passing an FAA reauthorization bill before recessing for the summer. LaHood did not specify the one or two people he was talking about, but praised Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) for putting aside his state and ego to resolve the stalemate. He said Reid was willing to move a House-passed bill through the Senate even though it would have cut funding for an airport in Nevada. Reid "stood tall," LaHood said. Throughout the interview, LaHood pointed the finger at Republicans for being "stubborn," saying the failure of Congress has led to the loss of 4,000 jobs at FAA and 70,000 construction employees to stop working. Asked if there is any chance that there could be a breakthrough before next month, an exasperated LaHood said, "The answer is no." He explained that an act of Congress is needed, adding that unanimous consent would be required in the House and Senate. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has indicated he won't let that happen, LaHood claimed. However, a spokesman for Boehner said Wednesday said the problem was the Democratically-controlled Senate. “The only reason 80,000 jobs are at stake is that Senate Democratic Leaders chose to play politics rather than keep their word and pass the House bill," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement. "That’s indefensible, and they should end this crisis immediately.” LaHood suggested he will be spending August criticizing Congress in the hopes that the situation will be quickly resolved when lawmakers return in September. He repeatedly mocked legislators for going on "their vacation" and not adhering to their own rhetoric on jobs. While pointing out that Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and other Senate Republicans objected to an unanimous consent request on the FAA bill Tuesday, LaHood praised Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) for her work on the measure.

I think I can safely say that such a thing will never happen, even if we have to sell off every National Park and a couple of states to keep the military afloat. There's far too much graft money to be made by the big people for that to ever happen. But let's fire everybody else who's in a union or works for the government.
