Reid offered to include tax reform, which has bogged down in partisan politics this year, on the agenda. The letter suggested that Democrats would be willing to negotiate changes to ObamaCare as part of budget talks as well."

Of course, its a proposal that's as transparent as auto glass, and I wouldn't trust Harry Reid further than I could throw him. But, it is movement. |
As Bob's post makes clear, the 'Baggers, represented by Boehner at the White House meeting, refused this offer. And yes, the 'Baggers are still too stupid to come in out of the rain, as is anyone who thinks they're doing the right thing.
