"SNIP........................................



An emerging budget deal between Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) is hitting some roadblocks Monday, in the form of conservative opposition to its proposed higher spending levels.

Heritage Action became the most significant conservative group to come out and bash the deal, which congressional aides have suggested for more than a week is close.

Some prominent conservative commentators have also been sounding similar notes:


(Erick Erickson Tweet) "Paul Ryan seems perpetually to come up with deals where his starting point should be the ending point."

1. What's the problem with it?

Doesn't screw over enough poor/working-class people for them? Must be a fairly decent (or at least livable) deal then.

2. "It also does not include any extension of the debt ceiling"

4. No need for that. We dare them to shut down the government again

Go right ahead, Republicans. It worked out so well for you the last time. Please proceed.

This is a smart move to make than swallow a debt extension -- a public repudiation of the teabagger wing.

3. Sounds like a good move to put Patty in charge

It isn't that hard. Reward the people who fight for Democratic principles. Don't reward the habitual conciliators.
