The Democrats agreed to compromise with Repugnants and give them cuts to programs to "pay for" extension of unemployment benefits to long term Supply-Side Prosperity benefactors - the long-term unemployed.
But then the Republicans wanted to add an amendment to push back one of the Obamacare deadlines. Sen. Harry Reid had 'had-it' with the Repugnants. He said we offered them a compromise but then they wanted MORE. He said they say they want something then when the Dems agree, the Republicans come back wanting more. So he said NO amendments -- and that the Republicans are : "continually denigrating our economy, our president and frankly, I believe, our country."
BUT TRY AND FIND IT REPORTED THAT WAY IN CORPORATE M$M. I've looked around and usually it is not mentioned that the Dems agreed to give Repugnants the cuts to programs they wanted (but did not specify themselves) BUT THAT THEN THE REPUGNANTS CAME BACK WANTING TO ADD AN AMENDMENT TO PUT OFF ONE OF THE OBAMACARE'S DEADLINES.

Gridlock asserted itself after majority Democrats offered to pay for a 10-month extension of a scaled-back program of benefits then refused to permit Republicans even to seek any changes.
Instead Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Republicans of "continually denigrating our economy, our president and frankly, I believe, our country."

(6,436 posts)I think this is a FIRST for Democrats, somebody actually showing some guts and telling it like it is: the Republicans are sabotaging our economy, our Democracy and weakening our country - then going on M$M saying: "Look, Government can't get anything done." --- or -- "Obama and Dems have shown government can't get anything done" ... Of course, the GOP toadies of M$M just nod and say nothing of the Repugnant's plan hatched on Obama's innauguration day to oppose EVERYTHING Obama and the Dems would try to accomplish (or the filibuster records set by the Repugnants) - in particular to rebuild the economy after the GOP's Trickle Down - Deregulation disaster.

(12,806 posts)All they had to do was give in to Republican hostage-takers' demands. That's ALL the Dems had to do, but noooOOOoooo.... they had to develop a SPINE and get all uppity and let the Republicans shut 'er down. Yes!! It's the Dems' fault because they ALLOWED the Republicans to PULL THE PLUG!!!!1!1!
At least, that's what Fox told me.
