Democrats have made 18 separate attempts since April to create a conference committee on the budget, as Boehner now proposes. Republicans blocked every one of them. if Boehner truly wanted the government shutdown to end, he could make it happen within minutes. At least 20 House Republicans have publicly signaled that they would support the Senate’s proposal for a “clean” continuing resolution to fund the government for six months — enough for a majority when combined with the 200 Democratic representatives — all of whom would vote for a clean CR only reason the government is shut down is that John Boehner won’t hold a vote on reopening it without any preconditions that damage the Affordable Care Act. Polls disagree with the Speaker t. According to a Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday, voters oppose blocking an increase in the debt ceiling as a negotiating tactic to stop the Affordable Care Act, by a 64 to 27 percent margin. ++++*Failing to raise the debt ceiling by October 17 would almost certainly result in a global economic crisis; on Wednesday, a Treasury Department report warned that “in the event that a debt limit impasse were to lead to a default, it could have a catastrophic effect on not just financial markets but also on job creation, consumer spending and economic growth.”**** sssooooo once again we are pushed to the economical cliff ,, and of course once again the top dog will take the heat !
