Boehner's Deal to Avoid a Shut Down

[Taco John]

Seems reasonable...

• Repeal of the Medical Device Tax
• One year delay on the individual mandate
• The Senate's Continuing Resolution gets pushed to December 15th
• Troops get paid regardless

It looks like it, but I think Republicans can hold the line here and put pressure on Democrats. Obama shot himself in the foot by offering free passes to big business while holding the American's feet to the fire on the individual mandate.

Sounds very reasonable. I'm personally very happy that the individual mandate delay is included. This will provide relief to millions of Americans and provide an economic boost.

Reid's rejecting it and has decided that he will not reconvene the Senate until Monday, which effectively means Obama is about to preside over a federal shut down. It's pretty well a done deal at this point. They won't accept any compromise on this at all.

"Seems" reasonable... but it's not.

The repeal of the Medical Device Tax is just another effort at defunding the PPACA and the only purpose of the delay is to buy time for the republicans to kill the law entirely.

The democrats should -- and will -- reject this Trojan horse.

Of course Democrats all of a sudden think they can take the 'we don't negotiate on anything stance', while attempting to get rid of sequestration.

Lulz good luck with that!

a shut down rethugs forced. they did it to Clinton now they're doing it to Obama.
compromise? you don't negotiate deals under extortion just like you wouldn't negotiate with terrorists. Obama and dems are making the right choice.

If that's what they want, then that's what they'll get. Obama delayed the employer mandate illegally. There should be nothing wrong with delaying the individual mandate lawfully (which people don't want anyway). The American public will side with the R's on this one.

that's complete fantasy,rethugs will get blamed,it's why Boehner was trying to avert this situation with the debt ceiling as opposed to shutting down the government. he knows the Rs get blamed.

hell look at how rethugs lashed out at cruz for forcing their hand on this.

I disagree. Republicans will keep the House in 2014, and continue to control the purse strings. Therefore, the people will have sided with Republicans.

We are not worried in the least. Your threats are meaningless.

no threats here,just pointing out the reality of what rethugs will be putting themselves in. there will be no compromise,government will reopen at some point with obamacare with no delay and rethugs will get blamed as a whole by the country and look stupid in the end to their lunatic fringe of a base.

People will finally be able to see Harry Reid front and center. No longer able to hide under the curtain that the state-run media provides.

The people won't like what they see. Not at all. Reid is the ghoul who is at the epicenter the Socialist movement.

If you don't think American's won't want to vomit every time they see that fool on TV, trying to explain why the government is shut down, you're sadly mistaken.

Posting while drunk isn't wise.

BTW, whenever I see Boehner's over-tanned face, I'm reminded of the last dump I took. Similar color.
