The GOP is acting as if they have a 100% mandate to get 100% of their agenda on the budget.
That's mental.
They don't want to compromise on anything. President Obama is the one who doesn't want a short debt deal. Boehner is the one who backed away from a $4 trillion deal because he doesn't even want to consider raising any sort of taxes or close tax loopholes.
Though from what I have been reading, the Obama Administration wasn't even looking to raise taxes. Just close loopholes.
