Yet a major and destabilizing confrontation over public finance now seems unavoidable, particularly following House Speaker John Boehner’s surprise announcement that he will resign his position and his seat in Congress at the end of October. To see why, one need look no further than the House Ways and Means Committee, whose current chairman, Paul Ryan, is a leader of the hardline Republican insurgents who had scorned Boehner for being too willing to compromise with President Barack Obama and House Democrats.
但公共财政领域的大规模对抗现在看似乎不可避免，尤其是众议院议长约翰·博纳意外宣布他将于10月底辞去议会席位及职务。理解个中个原因只需看看众议院筹款委员会，该委员会现任主席保罗·瑞安是强硬派共和党反对者，他嘲笑博纳太容易向总统巴拉克·奥巴马及众议院民主党人妥协。
