With less than two weeks to head off a government shutdown, congressional Republicans and Democrats don’t look like they’re in the mood to compromise — at least judging by what’s on tap for Tuesday. As the clock ticks, here’s a sampling of what’s happening on Capitol Hill and elsewhere:
Tuesday morning, Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, was set to speak on the Senate floor and blame the “far right” for the breakdown of budget talks.
“Schumer will say the only hurdle to a deal at this point between House Republicans and the White House is the tea party conservatives’ refusal to compromise,” his office said.

The downside of a government shutdown is that it invariably reopens for business.

I’m all for a shutdown if it means cutting government spending, but the GOP and other groups had better be prepared for the onslaught of journ-o-lists who will eagerly ride to the aid of Democrats and work to pillory Republicans.
What was the 2010 election about? ObamaCare and the unsustainable growth of government under Obama.

Yet, last week at a Tea Party meeting, a US Representative said, and I quote: “Social Security checks will not go out if the Government shuts down.” Is that obsufucation or what?
