I just realized why Harry Reid

Nancy Pelosi and President Obama like each other so much.  They're all petulant children.

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says House vote to fund the federal government but delay ObamaCare is 'pointless', indicating that the bill would almost certainly be rejected by the Democrat-controlled Senate, risking a temporary government shutdown."

That is akin to a spoiled brat holding his breath and throwing a tantrum when he/she doesn't get their way.

Someone tell Rush that Harry Reid's new appellation should be Harry "Brat" Reid instead of Dingy Harry.

This makes sense

so of course the Republicans WON'T do it.

"The debt-ceiling deadline is coming up. You can demand commensurate spending cuts, the usual, reasonable Republican offer. But you won't get them. Obama will hold out. And, at the eleventh hour, you will have to give in as you get universally blamed for market gyrations and threatened credit downgrades.

The more prudent course would be to find some offer that cannot be refused, a short-term trade-off utterly unassailable and straightforward. For example, offer to extend the debt ceiling through, say, May 1, in exchange for the Senate delivering a budget by that date -- after four years of lawlessly refusing to produce one.

Not much. But it would (a) highlight the Democrats' fiscal recklessness, (b) force Senate Democrats to make public their fiscal choices and (c) keep the debt ceiling alive as an ongoing pressure point for future incremental demands."

Obama Budget FAIL! AGAIN!

Are we EVER going to get a real budget from the Democrats?
