Boehner changes from soft to hard stance
This week, Boehner and House Republicans are drawing thick lines in the sand in budget negotiations with Democrats, and the threat of a shutdown

"At the end of last week the House Republicans did a strange thing," said Sen. Chuck Schumer
Don't they always?
"They pulled back from the talks. They changed their minds about what level of spending cuts they could accept. We were right on the verge of a potential breakthrough and they suddenly moved the goalposts."
Methinks tea was involved
"Sen. Schumer believes his party would benefit from a government shutdown," said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel
Then they herd some cows?
Republicans meanwhile, have for the first time since the spending debate began, acknowledged that a shutdown is looming, and begun trying to cow Democrats
Ah we know Eric will clear this up
"In the scope of our debt crisis, if Senator Reid and Senator Schumer force the government to partially shut down over these sensible spending cuts, Americans will hold them accountable," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor
Hoyer then pulled his tongue and said
"We did control Washington for two years and the government didn't shutdown any second of those two years,"
Between squabbling about wedge issues and shut downs most people are begining to switch off....
My feeling is that........
Most Americans are just wondering.....
Where are the jobs?
