Boehner spokesman says spending cuts remain 'largest issue' - TheHill.com
By Russell Berman - 04/08/11

The White House and congressional leaders still have not reached a deal to avert a government shutdown set to begin at midnight.

The two sides said they had made progress after a Thursday night meeting at the White House with President Obama, but Republicans and Democrats are still sounding different message about the final sticking points on a deal.

A spokesman for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Friday morning said spending cuts, not social policy provisions, are the “largest issue” preventing an agreement to keep the government open.

“While nothing will be decided until everything is decided, the largest issue is still spending cuts,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in an email. “The American people want to cut spending to help the private sector create jobs — and the Democrats that run Washington don’t.”

The statement is a rebuttal to Democrats claiming that policy restrictions on funding for abortion and women’s health remain the final sticking point to a deal.

Dems just gave us more BS.
