FILE - In this Feb. 6, 2014, photo, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio gestures while speaking during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. The road the country has been on for the past five years is now beginning to come to an end.

How Washington policymakers respond to the improvements in the economy may even sow the seeds for more cooperation in Washington. "The president's policies are not working," Boehner declares.(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
