Shutdown Showdown: Stalemate Thaws As Democrats "Encouraged" By New GOP Proposal - The Note
Thank goodness. The crisis had reached the point where even travel agents were starting to panic.
The GOPs latest proposal a two-week spending bill with $4 billion in cuts was designed to be hard for Democrats to resist because it is full of cuts they had already supported. For instance, the Republicans plan included $1.24 billion in cuts proposed by President Obama in his 2012 budget and about $2.7 billion in cuts to earmarks that both parties have already renounced
We are encouraged to hear that Republicans are abandoning their demands for extreme measures like cuts to border security, cancer research and food safety inspectors and instead moving closer to Democrats position that we should cut government spending in a smart, responsible way that targets waste and excess while keeping our economy growing, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reids spokesman Jon Summers said in a statement Friday.
Typical, typical...
Wait, didnt the same Jon Summers call the GOPs $4 billion proposal extreme and a non-starter just 48 hours ago? Why, he did! But that was before Boehner unveiled his strategy to build that $4 billion out of cuts suggested by Obama himself. Thats why Democrats now feel compelled to not only praise the measure but to try to take credit for it before they inevitably begin arguing that $4 billion is itself far too draconian to be acceptable.
Looks like the world will keep on spinning and the sun keep on rising.
