Democrats, GOP dig in their heels as march to shutdown continues

The standoff over spending cuts continued Wednesday as lawmakers in the Senate and House rejected each other's short-term budget plans, keeping the possibility of a government shutdown alive.

Republican leaders in the House are crafting a two-week continuing resolution with $4 billion in cuts to temporarily keep the government funded, a source told The Hill. The measure would run through March 18, when the next scheduled congressional recess is set to begin.

Of course they will wimp out.

Republicans have no intention of actually cutting spending - they just want to have an "adult conversation" about it.

GOP will get the budget out when they are assured of their cut of the money.
