GOP negotiator doesn't rule out government shutdown despite details in debt limit deal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.), a key negotiator in recent debt ceiling talks, acknowledged that some House Republicans may be emboldened from the recent debt negotiations and said he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of a government shutdown when Congress debates the appropriations bills in the fall.

He maintained, however, that he was hopeful Republicans can continue “to build upon the success that we were able to achieve in debt ceiling negotiations.”

“I’m not ruling out anything. It depends on how reasonable each side is obviously in the negotiations,” Graves told Margaret Brennan when asked on CBS’s “Face the Nation” about the possibility of a government shutdown. “It’s very difficult to predict, but I want to be clear, Republicans are going to demand continuing to build upon the success that we were able to achieve in debt ceiling negotiations, in changing the way that Washington spends.”

Graves criticized the approach taken by members of the far-right faction of his conference that opposed the debt and spending bill, saying the way they exercised their leverage, “really threatened the economy in a large way,” and that, “We can’t continue to see challenges like that.”
