"Their way or the highway" consists in implementing a law enacted by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court. And their figure for the CR is the number suggested by the Republicans.
So how is this "their way or the highway", unless you agree that it is legitimate for one faction of one party in one branch of the government to violate the fourteenth amendment?
It is the Republicans who have created this crisis. Because they know that Obamacare will become quite popular, because it will work, as has been (ironically) proven in Massachusetts by Mitt Romney! So keep it from going into effect, or your cause is lost. Not gonna work.
Obama care was pushed through using a budget revision, so how is it wrong for Republicans to attack it during a budget situation.
Secondly, who in Congress enacted that law? You act as if a law can not be overturned, defunded or repealed. Is this law exempt from such treatment?
Third, does the House of Representatives have any voice or right to pick and choose what gets funded? Hell, YEAH THEY DO.
Fourth, this crisis was created in the first place by the Democrats, who at one time had filibuster proof majorities in Congress, BUT REFUSED TO PASS A BUDGET. They were so busy with crapcare that they didn't pass a budget and they haven't even attempted to do so since they came into power in 2007.
Nothing that you stated excuses the clowninchief from not meeting and working with republicans. Nothing. Give me all I want before I even contemplated speaking to you is not compromising.
So stop repeating garbage that the Democrats feed you and read up.
You have been educated. Now scram little child, adults are trying to have a serious chat here.
