Reid won't fund care for kids with cancer

[DrScholl]

It was a dumb question, why pass a bill for just "one child" when passing a clean funding bill can fund all the children that need care and put people back to work? In that context, the reporter looked like an airhead and it wasn't surprising that Reid was irritated. Someone who is supposed to be a journalist should understand why funding the government like a buffet is irresponsible.

Republicans know that Obama is not going to sign off on an Obamacare repeal, so continuing to force the issue is what is is prolonging the shut down.

[DrScholl]

There is one sticking point that this shutdown revolves around and that is not funding Obamacare. It's not even a matter of negotiation, it's a yes or no equation. If Obama did agree to not fund health care, it's highly unlikely the GOP would stop with the demands, they would further push for more and more with threats of shutdown and default.
