RE :“Let me reiterate what our position is,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said. “And it is unequivocal: We will not negotiate with Republicans in Congress over Congress’ responsibility to pay the bills that Congress has racked up. Period.”

Of course if they dont pass a new budget or CR (by Oct 1) then that argument is moot. (Debt limit T0 ~ mid Oct)

Obama is demanding that they spend MORE $$$$ by passing a CR with O-care AND at the same time that they pay the bills for it claiming its past authorized spending, which only the emergency critical services exempt from a shutdown would be in a shutdown.

Example :Obama-care . The Dem congress 2010 passed that.
Its exempt from shutdown. So assuming a delayed CR then Obama claims that this congress has to pay the bills for Obama-care because it authorized that spending.

And the beat goes on.
