In fairness to Republicans in general and Boehner in particular, when Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress (108th and 109th Congress) during four years of the George Bush presidency, the fedgov ran budget deficits of $413 (2004), $318 (2005), $248(2006) and $160 (2007) for a total of -$1.13 Trillion.
But during the two years of Barak Obama's presidency (when Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress), the fedgov ran deficits of $1.4 Trillion (2009) and $1.55 Trillion ((2010) for a total ~$3 Trillion deficit.
In one year, Democrats ran a deficit that it took Republicans four years to accumulate.
Boehner shoulders much of the blame for what went wrong in Congress during Bush's term of office but Pelosi ("the old boss") is orders of magnitude worse.

If it wasn't clear before (and it should have been), it certainly is now.
We are in this alone. No election is going to change the outcome.

It all OK now! We elected a bunch of lovely "R" socialists to replace those despicable "D" socialists!
We can all relax and go back to watching CSI Miami!
