I'd like it if the Democrats were willing to cut $61 billion (hell, I'd like them to cut much more than that), but the fact of the matter is, it is not politically realistic at this point. If the government shuts down, I suspect Democrats will hold their ground. By the time Republicans compromise, they will be on the receiving end of the blame.
It's a fucking miracle that Democrats are willing to cut a dime of spending. Republicans should take the offer and instead focus on the 2012 election.
