nothing has changed. what happened there was a vote just a vote to begin discussion on raising the debt ceiling and in the end of the senate blocked it, and earlier in the day dick durbin predicted not a single republican would jump in with the democrats to get this debate going, and that seems to have been what happened. harry reid the majority leader also spoke earlier today. he said essentially discussion involving the republicans particularly in the house and the white house is over. it's finished. now it's all eyes on the senate when it comes to raising the debt ceiling. here's what he had to say. >> i was happy to see the republicans engaged in talks with the president. that's over with. it's done. they're not talking any more. we learned that this morning. i say to my friends on the republican side of the senate, time is running out. >> reporter: time is running out, he says. that's harry reid. republicans seemed to concur a little bit with that. they said that they feel that the discussion has fin

since then the mistrust has only grown. fit was a bridge too far in 2011, what are the chances for a deal this time around? >> i personally think that this is going to continue on right into the spring. because it's going to be very difficult for those senate and house budget committee members to come to any kind of an agreement. i hope they do. but they've got a long way to go. >> the fate of the budget talks could answer another key question. as -- has anything in washington changed in the wake of the shutdown? mike viqueria, al jazeera, washington. >> with us is steve bell, the senior director of the economic project at the bipartisan policy center. good to have you open the program. i'm asking this question to get a sense of whether you're optimistic or pessimistic about the future here in negotiations. why will this time be any different? why will this conference committee produce a budget deal? we haven't had one since, what, 2009. >> i'm not sure it will produce a budget deal for the reason you outlined. one, any cha

it has been positive moderately but you have that the russian government has decided to declare victory saying the crisis is over. nonsense. if you talk to demographers over the long term they will say that these sorts of spikes our normal over a long-term trend line but all the things i talk about about, they suggest the spiral goes down word because there is no serious official effort to counteract all the symptoms the rather ec is the effort to expand things that make russians feel good. 60300 effort to to expand infrastructure that could mean anything you wanted to be. so the russian government has turned that into military modernization. the term infrastructure when they talk about expansion of industry. that is great but this is not long-term investment of the health care system, education, social network common medical records to allow russians to rebound sustainably from the trendline. it is useful to unpacked what that decline means and why it is happening in why it is important. the second is to focus on one aspect that trend line is that it is transforming. when compared it t

nothing ted cruz has done here has achieved anything. >> good point!wn party's poll numbers into the tank. and he has been talking about this like there was some arousing success. he said months ago nobody said we could do this. months ago, everybody was saying he couldn't stop obama care and he couldn't stop obama care. i don't think they were saying he couldn't cause an enormous political catastrophe for his party. that he has proved he can to. >> mckay, do you think ted cruz is a bit like the david koresh of the republican party? he's a bit like a character who believes himself to be anointed, believes himself to be a prophet, ignores everything, and torches the place in the process. >> you always come to me with these excellent comparisons that get me in trouble with republican sources. no, i think, look, you know, ted cruz -- >> is he the david koresh of the republican party? >> there are two lines of thinking. one is that he truly believes that he is -- you know, the savior of the republican party. >> so he does believe that. >> the other line of

that is what history has taught us. allthe door has been open year long. again and again and again, republicans have, when it came to the process in the senate and the house that they demanded, refused to appoint conferees for that regular order to continue the negotiations could take place there. even in meetings with the president, some of which were productive and thoughtful, republican lawmakers never came back with a compromise proposal of their own. but he is ready to do that. just not under threat of shutdown. not under threat of default. those are fundamental core responsibilities of congress that they need to fulfill, and he won't allow the american people and the economy and the american economy to be held hostage to ideological demands in return for fulfilling those simple functions. let me also say when it comes to putting a bill on the floor of the house, which the speaker could do today to reopen the government, because apparently everyone but the speaker is confident that that bill would receive a majority in the house and would receive vote
