Obama and the senate have threatened a veto and tabling EVERY bill the house has put forward. How bout these tools but something on the table. Negotiating does not nor has it ever consisted of one side doing ALL the work while the others just sit and say veto veto veto.
All they have offered is words and platitudes and blame. Nothing of substance. Especially Obama. What an epic democratic fail.
Okay in light of your post the other day, how about some balance here..... the white house supported the gang of six bill which was crafted by 3 Republicans and 3 Democratic Senators. It follows the Simpson Bowles plan which was also a bi-partisan effort.
The House had no interest in the Gang of Six plan because it included revenue enhancements. The progressive plan stated at 80% revenue enhancements and 20% cuts. The Republicans started at 0% revenue enhancements and 100% cuts. In supporting the gang of 6 plan Obama moved to about 25% revenue enhancements and 75% cuts. The Republicans are still sitting at 0% Revenue enhancements and 100% cuts...
Who isn't moving?????
