They were offered a pretty sweet deal (for them) and they walked away because it was not 100% of what they tried to extort from the process...
Not true. They walked away from the table because the offer was to raised taxes now in exchange for an unenforceable "promise" of future spending reductions...which never happens.
Tell ya what, how about we cut spending now in exchange for the promise of future tax increases? Deal?
Republicans need to start making real cuts in the current budget and to hell with the 10 year budget deal. Just negotiate the budget for the current year, and make sure it includes less spending on programs, not a lower rate of growth.
The budget process as it has been pursued up until now is nothing but a huge con job.
