Well that is what she said. She will be a no vote because the bill won’t fund Obamacare, but she is optimistically rooting for a compromise.
I thought she’s against funding Obamacare so shouldn’t she vote yes if it doesn;t? Wouldn’t the no vote be if it did fund Obamacare? That was a bit confusing.
I understand the need for compromise and the potential backlash of a shutdown. But, if the GOP can’t get more than 30B or so in cuts now, what makes them think they’ll do any better with the next budget in the fall?
Ryan’s budget calls for 180B less than Obama’s for FY2012. So, someone needs to tell me how if we can’t even get 30B now, we’re going to get anywhere near 180B less in the fall?
At some point you do have to take a stand. I don’t know if this is the best time, it’s difficult. If we fold on this, though, there’s no way things will get any better as Obama and the dems will know they have our number and that Boehner can’t deliver. They’ll have called the bluff.
I meant defund not fund.
