The House will vote before the November elections to extend all of the current tax rates that are set to expire at the end of the year, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Tuesday.

Boehner warned about a “train wreck” of big-ticket legislation that could be left for a lame-duck session if Congress doesn’t act beforehand.

House Republicans have been discussing plans to extend the George W. Bush-era tax rates, and Boehner said leaders had not decided whether to act to make them permanent or extend them temporarily.

John Boehner-the number one cause of division between the parties. He is an obstructionist, and an objectionable person. He seems to revel in the disruption that he can cause, instead of collaborating with the Democrats to hasten the recovery. He seems to enjoy combat between himself and the President. Boener is well practiced in un-American activities. He speaks of a, "Train Wreck" coming. Well, he is the train driver and engineer. He also speaks of a "Lame Duck" session, HE being the cause.
