Republicans on the budget Talk Castle

Vice President Joe Biden has worked with a group of bipartisan lawmakers to hash out the debt ceiling increase that could survive in both houses of Congress. On Thursday went to the Republicans on deficit talks argued that the discussion on revenue had reached an impasse, which look for a solution, but Barack Obama's involvement.

House majority leader Eric Cantor (R-genealogical society) sparked the trend if he declared his own withdrawal from budget talks because of the democratic demands for tax increases. Politician Ion Cooling blinked out shortly after. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) released soon a complaint on the Senate floor for revenue, entitled, "where is the President?"

"In weeks, lawmakers have been working around the clock to develop a plan that would help us avert a crisis we all know is coming. So it is worth asking: where in the world, President Obama has been in the last month? "McConnell says."What does he? What is he willing to do to reduce debt and avoid the crisis that is based on his watch? "

Just hours after a Wednesday night meeting between Cantor, speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio), and President Obama, Cantor called in the Wall Street Journal that arrives early next morning and report its decided notice. To take over the negotiations after the Bidens group has run its course is canceled, Boehner and Obama. Biden acknowledged that this plan has been decided from the get-go, which States that "the next phase in the hands of the leaders who must decide the scope of an agreement that can deal with the problem and to attract bipartisan support." Senate majority leader Harry Reid may also be involved. "I think it is in the hands of the speaker and the President, and, unfortunately, probably me," Reid said at a press conference.

In a statement on Cantor's decision, Reid remarked, seems to "Cantor has obviously had enough of these negotiations and cool followed suit, but progress has been made. It's not as if nothing had happened. " Boehner was asked if he approved of Cantor's refusal to continue the negotiations. "I understand his frustration. I understand why he did what he did. But I think these talks can continue if they are willing to take the tax hikes off the table, he said. A Democratic aide accused Cantor of "[throwing knives] Boehner under the bus."

Cantor explained his decision in a statement, which reads, "each side came in these talks with certain orders and in the version that the Democrats continue to insist that all agreements must contain tax increases. There is no support in Parliament for a tax increase and don't believe now is the time to raise taxes in the light of our current economic situation. Regardless of the progress made, the tax issue must be resolved before discussions can continue. Given this impasse, I will not participate in today's meeting and I think it is time for the President to speak clearly and solve the tax issue. When solved, we have a plan to move to trillion yen in spending cuts and binding mechanisms to change how things are done around here. "
