Heres the front page of the New York Times closed quote this morning of the New York Times this morning ofg us on the phone is cq roll call. What happened yesterday . What happened was they had breakfast along with the ranking members of the house and Senate Budget committees and basically just had in informal discussion. Then they had a short meeting really pattys murray and patty murray said they were hopeful that they can reach some kind of agreement but they did not get into any specifics. Did any other Committee Members meet besides the four of them . Guest no it wasnt the four of them. Oft looking at the budget the new Conference Committee, 12 democratic senators, nine republican senators, for Republican House members, three Democratic House members, it seems awfully waited on the side of the senate. Is that correct . It is andt is the way it seems kind of strange. The Conferen
It reminds them of the power grab. It reminds them of the way democrats set up one set of rules for themselves and another for everybody else. One set of rules for them and another for everybody else. Actually, this is all basically the same debate. And rather than distract people from obamacare, it only reinforces the narrative of a party that is willing to do and say just about anything to get its way. Willing to do or say just about anything to get its way. Because thats just what theyre doing all over again. Once again, Senate Democrats are threatening to break the rules of the senate, break the rules of the senate in order to change the rules of the senate. And over what . Over what .

The bottom line, the first vote is on whether they can move forward on the process. Two weeks ago, senator rand paul put a measure forward to be voted on. Five republicans voted with democrats that gave you a sense where things stand. I dont think anything changed on the constitutional questions as far as where the votes are.

Brookings institution to talk about the divided government we now have in washington. No surprise that the republicans are now to 218. Following on what we heard the congresswoman say, what are the challenges for a republicanled house to move forward with their agenda . Guest i think the real question is, what are the things over the next two years that the republicans in the house one to do versus what are the things the republicans need to do . We think about the basic blocking and tackling of american government. We think about keeping the government open, a lot of discussion about raising the debt limit and those big, fiscal issues. Those are things that need to get done. If they do not get done, there are big consequences for the country. There is a set of things republicans would like to do, some issues that are the kinds of ones the congresswoman was talking about.
