And That's a good thing

"This makes McConnell's and Boehner's job virtually impossible. To get anything done, they need to compromise with Democrats. To improve their party's image, they need to compromise with Democrats. But most Republican members of Congress are more responsive to Tea Party activists—who could defeat them in a primary—than to voters as a whole. And those Tea Party activists oppose compromise, even if doing so hurts the GOP, because they're not all that invested in the fortunes of the GOP."

With the House in Republican hands, the one thing that can be done without compromise, is stopping the runaway spending. The Senate can refuse to pass the abbreviated spending bills, but that just leads to the continuing resolution battle.

And doing nothing is a good option, also.
