White House And Republicans To Break The Ice

There will be talks at the White House Thursday, as the President meets with 18 House Republicans in an attempt to end the Republican shutdown.

Among the participants will be the House GOP’s budget chief, Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.), who on Wednesday tried to sell conservatives on a two-step plan to hike the debt limit and reopen the government long enough for Congress to pass entitlement reforms…

The Ryan proposal also signaled a shift away from a focus on dismantling Obama’s healthcare reform law, which Republicans had made a central demand for keeping the government open in September.
