House GOP Offers Garbage Deal; Obama Rejects It

Congressional Republicans have offered a plan to end the shutdown—which the White House has already rejected, on the basis that it contains unacceptable reforms to the Affordable Care Act.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has also rejected the plan, saying it will never pass the Senate. And he doesn't mince words: "This bill is doomed to failure, and it's so awful, awful, awful for our country."

Can't wait to see what terrific proposal seeps out next from GOP HQ.
