which of the following is the 'sticking point' that Boehner is demanding before ending the shutdown?

Not surprisingly, you have missed that he is asking for a 1-year delay in implementing the train wreck that is obamacare.

Same thing as always, the ACA. Unless he's move the goal posts again, that's what its always been.

Delay, de fund, make sure it fails.

Failing that they've been looking to cut Social Security and Medicare at least since their debates, and they were quite open about that.

Hey, I have an idea, Let's end all welfare. . .corporate and individual. Let's raise taxes on everyone, let's punish all companies that bring revenue into the USA, and finally ... . ..

Seriously, why do Liberals so much want to pick winners and losers?

Social security is another animal entirely. It does not belong to the government. We paid for our social security INDIVIDUALLY, and therefore it already belongs to us.

Medicare. .. I'm open to major cuts.

whoever want to cut social security is heartless son of a you know what and should be shoved off face of the earth. we are paying 12billion per month on this war that has been going on for almost 10 years. end it for godsakes we are never going to win Osama is dead for godsakes .same thing goes for medicare people need social security not everone has retirement money/plans from their jobs

Right now he just seems to be demanding SOMETHING. There's talk that they might agree to repeal the medical device tax, which has opponents on both sides of the aisle. But their real demand is that they get something out of this in order to save face.

ah, let's see here -- A) would damage jobs and wages so that isn't it. B) would damage investment which is a prime cause of more jobs and higher wages, so that isn't it. c) would lead to a trade war which would damage high wage jobs, so that isn't it.

must be D) -- he's demanding that we begin to address the 127 trillion in unfunded liabilities -- which are over 150% larger than the net assets of all Americans combined.

in case you can't figure it out -- that last means that even a seize everything socialist government can't keep the entitlement promises without executing a significant fraction of the population.

None of the above. Boehner isn't ever going to end the shutdown. It will be ended by the next speaker of the house.

The Tan Man was told by the Koch Brothers, don't let my crazy tea baggers destroy my fortune, by going off the cliff and tanking the economy. It seems the Koch Brothers enjoy crazy, but not that crazy, lol.

It is not extortion to ask Democrats to have a conversation about spending when they have maxed out the national credit card.

D as it was stated in the last question about this.

But I'd be for both A & D.
