I think the Democrats should negotiate some spending cuts, to fund the govt.
But as for the debt ceiling, no negotiations. Just raise the damn ceiling!!!!
They already negotiated the funding level. No more negotiating until the gov't is opened and the limit raised.
^ that. The Democrats even accepted the Repub CR numbers but, quelle surpise!, thats not what the teapublicans want now.
Harry Reid Compromised On Shutdown Negotiation, House Republican Acknowledges
“It is a concession, I acknowledge that,” Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) told The Huffington Post on Saturday. “I was glad to see that lower number. It didn’t take defense spending into account. We still have a big discrepancy between the House and Senate version. But there has been some compromise and I acknowledge that.”
(Lamborn, for what it's worth, is no centrist. He signed on to a letter saying a government shutdown was preferable to the implementation of Obamacare.)
