Bohner: Shutdown Govt good for the Democrats

Boehner: Democrats

House Speaker John Boehner told his caucus Tuesday that Democrats would probably “win” the political battle if the government shuts down on Friday. “The Democrats think they benefit from a government shutdown. I agree,” Boehner said—and several of his colleagues who were there for the 1995 shutdown backed him up. Still, Boehner made little progress with the White House and Senate Democrats at an 80-minute meeting; he is said to have demanded $40 billion in cuts, a $7 billion hike from the $33 billion they had been discussing

Well, um...DUH!

You just gotta love partisan hacks like Boehner controlling our country.....

I don't know much about him but it looks like he's being held hostage by the tea party caucus. It will be a lose-lose scenario for the Repubs:

On the same day that President Obama warned that a government shutdown could jeopardize the economic recovery, Boehner said a shutdown would trigger immediate financial problems.

“If you shut the government down, it’ll end up costing more than
 you’ll save because you interrupt contracts – there are a lot of
 problems with the idea of shutting the government down – it is not the
 goal,” Boehner said Friday outside his office suite in the Capitol.

Not to mention, interest rates will also rise.
