Boehner, White House Harden Stance as Shutdown Enters Second Week


With the government shutdown now into its second week, House Speaker John Boehner is rejecting calls to reopen the government, saying the country will default for the first time ever unless President Obama begins negotiating with Republicans. The White House also firmed up its stance, saying President Obama won’t come to the table until Republicans drop their campaign against Obamacare, end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling. The Washington Post says analysts predict the government could run out of money by November 1st.
