reid says he wants it raised for a year or until AFTER the next elections.
Bet Boehner and Mitch can once again be had.

I've never been accused of being the brightest bulb in the package, but some things just seem so obvious.

Really? And you think Reid is somehow going to miraculously agree to 10% cuts?

This is not obvious.

Exactly. Negotiation shouldn’t be a discussion on how much the GOP gives up. Push barrycare into next year. Or next decade. Or better yet never.

what is the GOPe asking for in return?

They may not be asking for anything but there are benefits.

17% of the Gov't continues to be shut down till November at least and the public sees for the 1st time that the world does not end.

The GOP is not seen as intransigent by the public. Obama on the other hand...

Obama and Reid are about to unveil “good cop, bad cop.”

Exactly. A year extension done in November will be good until after the midterms. The beltway GOP is punting again. McConnell pulled this carp in 2011. How did that work out?

They've tried something like that before.

It didn't work too well.

By hook and crook and stealth of night, they do their dastardly deeds.
