Dem Says Abortion Clinic Regs ?Too Stringent? | The Arizona Conservative
Despite opining that a government shutdown would be the worst possible outcome in our negotiations over the budget, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) vowed he will make no compromises to avoid it.
Weve got control of the narrative, Reid boasted. Why should we give Republicans a break? Almost half of Americans depend on the government to put money in their pockets. The other half are afraid of riots in the streets if the flow of subsidies to client populations is halted. The media are all in for blaming the GOP if anything bad happens. When you have the winning hand you dont need to be nice.
The Senate Majority Leaders perspective was echoed by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). Were past the point of no return in this country, Boehner argued. Too many people are on the government teat. The slide into the abyss cant be avoided. All we can do is try to get our fair share of the loot before it all goes to Hell.
Reid acknowledged that he wasnt entirely unsympathetic to Boehners plight. Weve offered to help him fend off the Tea Partiers in his Party, Reid said. If he can bring enough Republicans over to our side on the budget well see to it that those who cooperate get a bigger piece of the pie when its carved up.
