Keeping spending at “current levels” is the whole problem...Democrats have put in place spending levels that have taken us to the poorhouse, and they want Republicans to agree to keep us there.....NO....shut it down and LOUDLY tell America that the Democrats refuse to cut spending, and are FORCING THE SHUTDOWN.

Hey Reid, bend slightly at the knees, about thirty (30) degrees, and shove that CRB calling for an extension of thirty (30) days so far up your a$$, you can taste the paper it was proposed on!!

The time for compromising with leftist, socialist, liberal, union thugs, is OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In fact, Social Security checks would go out as scheduled. Troop pay would be unaffected, as would a host of other government operations, like border protection, law enforcement, air traffic control and food inspection. But applications for passports and visas, national parks and payments to federal contractors would be affected. See it would still work. Shut it down tight!

So it looks like Harry Reid wants to shutdown the government. Oh well.

Reid is simply laying the groundworks to blame the GOP for a shutdown by offering a proposal he knows will be rejected to have a fall back position to pass the blame.

I think this time it will back fire big time as most Americans are far more engaged and informed and understand the MSM is just the water boy for the dem party then we were back in 1994.

I believe most Americans actually could care less if the government shuts down.

If they feel that they’ve got to avoid a shutdown, then the thing to do is tie the continuing resolution to various cuts. Give it a month. Pass another continuing resolution tied to additional cuts. In the end, they will suffer a thousand paper cuts.

Those dastardly Republicans want to cut $60 billion from a $1.2 trillion budget. That’s clearly racist.
