The Democrats should have never accepted a sequester level budget and given that to the Republicans off the bat.
The Republicans don't understand actual policy compromise. They only want to make it look like they're fighting for something to the idiots that actually vote for them. The Democrats should have made the Republicans fight for the sequester level spending.

These Teapugnicants somehow think they should get a retroactive veto of the Affordable Care Act. Has any of the actually read the Constitution. It don't work that way.
Affordable Care Act is destined to fail. If it is so wonderful, why are Congress members and their staff exempt from the plan and the penalties for not signing up? Why do they receive special treatment, but the rest of the citizens have to sign up or pay a penalty fee? The federal government has no Constitutional authority to MANDATE health insurance purchase or to run such a program. That should be left up to the states.
We have a Constitutional make up for the enacting, revision and repeal of standing laws. The Tea Party does not dictate what laws should stand.
Especially when they are a minority in one House of one branch of government and we just had a presidential election which they lost based on the a platform of repeal on the law in question.
