The Latest from CNN (I know, I know)

Anyway this is interesting:

3:45 PM

House Republicans have dropped two demands related to Obamacare from their proposal to end the fiscal stalemate in Washington, sources told CNN. These include a proposal to delay the medical device tax and another to tighten income verification of those seeking subsidies to purchase health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Separately, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California told CNN's Dana Bash that he expects the House to vote on Tuesday night on its plan to reopen the government and avoid a possible U.S. default.

The deadline for increasing the debt ceiling is Thursday, according to the Treasury, and economists warn that failure to act in time would spike interest rates with possible catastrophic impact at home and abroad. However, House Republicans were considering their own proposal that would tack on provisions changing President Barack Obama's signature health care reforms in what appeared to be a last-gasp effort to influence the proposed Senate agreement. According to GOP sources and confirmed by Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California, the House plan under consideration would include most of what is in the Senate proposal while adding a provision to suspend an Obamacare tax on medical devices for two years and remove federal health care subsidies for Obama and legislators when they obtain health coverage under the reforms

Who cares about the medical device tax? What world are we living in?

Obamacare is the death of America. If it is not repealed then all is lost.

Just on CNN.... All the on air folks might just as well wear DNC T shirts, I mean if they could only hear themselves.

When it`s not crunch time, they try and pretend they don’t have an agenda, but the last few days they are as bad or worse than MSNBC if that was possible.

To MSNBC credit they gave up even the appearance of attempting to be balanced, but CNN says they are better, what a joke.

Every former and/or disgruntled Rep has been rounded up to give the Rep point of view on stuff, totally embarrassing to watch
