Talks to End Shutdown, Raise Debt Ceiling Deadlocked - ABC NewsTalks on ending the government shutdown and preventing default have once again deadlocked, but this time it is Democrats who are demanding changes to current law as a condition for ending the impasse.
With the two sides now negotiating to extend government funding until at least January 31, Democrats are now insisting on spending increases — they want to end most of the cuts put in place as part of the so-called sequester. Democrats are still willing to accept a short-term deal to reopen the government at sequester spending levels (the Senate, of course, passed a 6-week extension on those terms), but now that talks are centered on funding the government into 2014, they are insisting on undoing some of sequester cuts. To Republicans, this is a non-starter, unless the sequester spending cuts are replaced with cuts to entitlement programs — and that is a non-starter for Democrats…
Meanwhile, Republicans in the House are watching all of this warily. Speaker of the House John Boehner’s last offer, of a six-week extension of government funding and borrowing authority in exchange for budget talks, was rejected by the White House on Friday. Anything the Senate ultimately passes, will likely be opposed by the majority of House Republicans. Boehner would need to make an 11th hour decision on whether to bring a Senate bill opposed by his members up for a vote or to attempt to change it once again.
They brought on demands for spending increases? How the fuck do you get that?GOP brought it on themselves, of course, but the spending cuts already agreed upon cannot be negotiated. The GOP must hold on the sequester.

Shows how retarded the GOP is.
All this time they could have won a renewal of their sequester budget because Democrats wanted to vote for it, but now that Republicans have shut everything down and have demanded that Democrats negotiate with them, the Democrats are actually asking for stuff now!
Stupid Republicans. Usually it's the liberals who snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but now it's the GOP.
What does that make Democrats who are now demanding changes to existing law in order to open the government?

But the GOP did NOT hold on the sequester!
They shut the government down and demanded that Democrats negotiate! So.....Democrats are asking for stuff now!
This only cements today's GOP as the least competent I've ever seen in history, which is why I think their 24% approval rating is a record low.

I don't understand why the article doesn't specify which democrats are saying it. The senate? Obama? Which is it? I question how official this position is.
However, if it is official, which it could be, I am definitely pissed. This would seriously be a dick move.
Wow, the most incoherent post you've ever written.What does that make Democrats who are now demanding changes to existing law in order to open the government?

As the GOP becomes more and more reviled for their shutting down the government; the Dems in the Senate are switching from the wedges to the drivers and teeing off.
The GOP would be doing the same thing.
I agree; a dick move that is probably ill-advised. Remember the nuclear option a few years back? This is the "atomic" option; not as devastating but still painful to the opposition. So guess what happens when the GOP get the football back...the ante gets raised.

I think the democrats shoul dreceive their spending increases. I think the republicans should rubber stamp all of it. The American people need to see the results of run-away progressive plans. And literally breaking this fucker completely is a nice way to show Americans what they've asked for.

The sequester was a Dem idea.
We have an enormous problem with gov't spending. The Dem solution is to spend more. Obama's solution is to raise taxes.
They dont get it.
They are like drunks going to an AA meeting asking for just one more drink.
