Hey, look. In March, Boehner described sequester as victory for Rs: http://blogs.rollcall.com/218/boehner-memo-we-forged-a-new-tactical-plan/ … Why not fund govt at victory levels?

@ByronYork@ThePlumLineGS I asked Steve Israel if he would accept sequester levels in 2014. He wouldn't say. -
@McCormackJohn@ByronYork why would they agree to long term sequester levels? In that scenario, only Ds make a concession. -
@ThePlumLineGS@ByronYork Listen, I think shutdown and default are almost certainly very bad politically for GOP. -
@McCormackJohn@ByronYork debt limit should be separate from budget negotiations. Conservatives should be willing to accept that. -
@ThePlumLineGS@ByronYork Sequestration wasn't the result of earlier debt limit deal. No way they raise debt limit and lose the cuts. -
@McCormackJohn@ByronYork How does agreeing to fund the gov temporarily at sequester levels constitute GOP giving up or conceding something? -
@ThePlumLineGS Rolling back cuts in 2014 would be getting rolled. Think nothing wrong with extending govt for 6 weeks. -
@McCormackJohn I get that. So Rs should fund gov temporarily at sequester levels--not a concession--and then enter into normal budget talks.

@ByronYork@ThePlumLineGS But aren't they just saying sequester levels for 6 weeks in an attempt to rollback sequester in 2014? -
@McCormackJohn@ByronYork yes, but the only thing that could pass now is temporary CR in any case - 1 more reply
