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.

Massive massive fraud! I do not know one single person who voted for Reid. I seldom saw a bumper sticker or a yard sign for Reid. Sharron Angle was several points in the lead in the polls on election eve.
Yea, gimme what I want today, and we can discuss the possibility of me promising you something in the future.
Thanks, but no.
Typical Democrat. “You give us what we want first, and then we might talk to you about what you want.”
They might as well follow up with “And it can be anything you want, as long as you don’t get any of it.”
My Response back to him after watching that video is, We WILL NOT Negotiate with Terrorists.
Chuck Schulmer is the most dispicable Human I think I have ever observed. Followed closely by Harry the Mobster Reid.
Ted Cruz must have so incensed those cockroaches they have nothing but blood in their eyes. Wow, such hate.
They have been shown to be a bunch of conspiring treasonist bastards and they aren’t liking it one bit. They must be not enjoying the feedback from the Citizens very much.
Note to Chuckles, the more you make this about Ted Cruz the more publicity he gets. ALL OF IT GOOD!
‘So if you give us ‘clean’ CR will will agree to raise taxes’
Sounds like a great deal.
Harry,
Why don’t you have your staff send some “confidential” emails to the opposite side?
Your credibility is shot.
Remember stalin. He, who counts elects. Never truer and I Hate stalin! May you rest in hades stalin, ever in the fire!
They need to keep offering “rifle shot” bills to fund all the little pain points that Obama and Reid want to punish the country with,
just to make it clear who’s causing the pain.
Ping.
Go for it, but put in a sunset clause. Govt stays as is until the results of “tax reform” are presented, in say two weeks.
Give Reid a reopening of govt, and he has zero incentive to negotiate honestly.
Hey Harry, SHOVE IT!
The GOP didn’t cause the shutdown. Obama and Reid caused the shutdown. Keep it shut. And stop all this nonsense about cordoning off outdoor open spaces.
Yes. And while the media will ignore it or downplay it, word will get out on social media.
So the media can shove it, too.
Yep, thanks to Cruz, Lee and others, it's a strategy that WILL work. It's what Congress should have been doing all along.
But it will only work if GOP leaders grow a spine, or get out of the way, and let the Tea Party Reps lead.
How about a 6 year delay of OCare?
Go get ‘em Boehner!
We will NOT relent until Obamacare is totally destroyed and the ashes of its corpse are scattered!!!!
The 'negotiation' is but a trap.
surprised Boehner didn’t fall for it.
He must really be worried about reelection AND losing his Speakership
Was a joke. Remember when Pelosi said you had to pass Obamacare before you could find out what is in it ?
They're all for jamming scissors into the skulls of newborns, so this isn't surprising.
Death is for the children.
