. . UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT : GOVERNMENT: BUDGETS AND BUDGETING: 3 Reasons There May not be a Government Shutdown . . 3 Reasons There May not be a Government Shutdown By CARRIE BUDOFF BROWN and JONATHAN ALLEN 4/7/11 4:37 AM EDT http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/52706.html . .The three figures at the center of the spending impasse Barack Obama, John Boehner and Harry Reid arent the chest-pounding types, a la Newt Gingrich in 1995, or the kind to gamble on a big political pay-off, a la Bill Clinton.
They are low-key political operators, each harboring a legitimate self-interest to avert a shutdown. They cant be absolutely, positively certain the other guy will get the blame if it happens. And that simple political fact might be the one thing left that can head off a prolonged shutdown.
.There is nothing in Boehners or Obamas history that suggests this is something that they enjoy, said James Carville, a Democratic strategist. Reid enjoys a little tussle, but hes not a Gingrich.
.Theyve had their differences, to be sure. Democrats are frustrated with Boehner for what they view as his moving the goal posts to appease tea-party conservatives. Boehner felt burned when the White House and Senate Democrats leaked last week that all sides had agreed to $33 billion in budget cuts.
.And it may simply be too late to reverse the momentum that has been building toward a shutdown. Boehner still contends with a caucus eager to show its serious about slashing the budget, Reid cant keep going back to his members with an objectionable roster of cuts, and Obama wants to avoid giving away the store to Republicans.
