According to the LA Times;
House Republicans, moving to get ahead of a developing bipartisan proposal in the Senate, plan to move their own measure Tuesday to end the standoff over the federal budget. The House plan would include stronger measures targeting President Obama’s healthcare law, but still represents a major scaling back of GOP demands and may draw opposition from the most conservative Republicans in the chamber. House Speaker John A. Boehner was to outline the plan in a meeting of the Republican majority Tuesday morning. The proposal would accept key parameters of the emerging Senate deal – reopening the federal government by extending current spending levels through mid-January, and raising the nation’s debt limit through February.
I think the best quote for this latest piece of news comes from “moderate” congressman Charlie Dent; “There are no winners in this process, only losers. The only question is … Who is losing more?”
