Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) offered to open negotiations on tax reform Wednesday if Republicans agree to a clean resolution to reopen the government.
Reid sent a letter to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) pledging to appoint negotiators to a budget conference if House Republicans relent on a six-week funding stopgap.
The budget conference is something Democrats have long sought, however, and the proposal was quickly shot down by Boehners office.
Reid offered to include tax reform, which has bogged down in partisan politics this year, on the agenda. The letter suggested that Democrats would be willing to negotiate changes to ObamaCare as part of budget talks as well.

I agree but, have the GOP keep sending bills to the Senate, and saying, “let’s vote on the things we agree on ...” - the sheeple get that. Action speaks louder than words ...

I thought that Harry wasn’t going to talk about anything but a “Clean CR” that provides funding for ObummerCare.

The only form of tax reform I want to hear discussed is “The Fair tax”.

Reform is code for tax hike when Reid uses it.

Well, it is the first sign of Old Harry starting to get just a little jelly in the spine. The media smear machine may not be working quite as planned this time. We shall see.
The house should counter with "We will do a 6 week stopgap funding CR in return for a 6 week delay of ObaMaoCare."

BS!!! They didn't accept any GOP input when they rammed it down American’s throats so why would they now?

Meanwhile children could be dying from cancer - and Dingy has no effs left to give unless he wins 100%
BASH: But if you can help one child who has cancer, why wouldn’t you do it? REID: Why would we want to do that? I have 1,100 people at Nellis Air Force base that are sitting home. They have a few problems of their own. This is — to have someone of your intelligence to suggest such a thing maybe means you’re irresponsible and reckless –

DO NOT EVER TRUST A POLITICIAN WHO IS KNOWN TO BE ATTACHED TO ORGAINIZED CRIME. I know, that’s most of them in DC.
