Boehner digs in on spending cuts, saying $33B is ‘not enough’
The Republican response to the various Democratic claims that a budget deal is imminent: There is no deal, and $33 billion in cuts is “not enough.”
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.

>> “We’re continuing to talk, but the stuff that’s left is the stuff that Reid is telling [negotiators] they can’t budge on,” the GOP aide said. <<
I don’t get what Reed was playing at by claiming they had a deal, then when Boehner said that was wrong, claiming the “extremist” tea party forced Boehner to back down? Obviously Boehner is not going to back him up – and after that would be even less willing to deal or trust Reed, and given the popularity of the tea party with the public, Reed isn’t going to win voter support? Also Reed’s demands to be in charge just seem like he wants his last 2 years heading the senate to be – interesting.
Follow up. Seems Reed thought if he said Boehner had agreed to a deal but was backing out, Boehner would agree to anything to not look like he was the obstructionist.
Didn’t work out that way.
