Reuters reported that "The latest Republican plan, floated by party leaders on Tuesday, would restore funding for federal parks, veterans programs and the District of Columbia. That, Republicans said, also would encourage talks to fully end the shutdown and craft a broader deal that would also raise the debt limit. "We are asking Democrats to come to the table," Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky said. The White House did not take long to reject the offer." So it is the White House that wants to play hard ball now - all or nothing - while the federal government is closed for business. Playing the blame game, huh?
