So there are Dems floating the idea, that's not the "slightly higher official" you mention.
From Huff:
"An administration official dismissed that report and general talk of a government shutdown as premature, noting that a new government funding agreement won't be needed for more than two months. But that official still warned House Republicans that if they pushed appropriations bills that went “beyond the sequester,” they would be met with “a guaranteed veto” from the president."
Obama is drawing the line in the sand at cuts beyond the sequestration, at least for now.
The GOP is not only threatening a government shutdown, they are threatening to default on the debt. Again. I've gone over before the catastrophic consequences of that. The mere threat of it causes markets to wonder about our credit worthiness.
Show me where the Dems are threatening that kind of insanity.
