Republicans are Not Serious About Decreasing Spending
If there were any doubts that most of the Republicans were not interested in decreasing spending, Boehner ended theat by coming out and saying they will raise the debt ceiling again. In the end, they are no different than the Democrats in wanting to be able to spend more than they can collect from their citizens.

They all only want to be re-elected, and if fat, they get all the free sex, and booze, and Cuban cigars that the American electorate can provide.

Why don't they just sign an amnesty bill while they are it?

Aside from reopening the government and agreeing to raise America's debt over the $16.7 trillion dollar limit, the Republicans made several other concession to President Obama and the Democrats. One such example is that Obamacare would receive funding. The Republicans would get to take out a portion of the president's signature legislation, but the law would substantially remain intact.
In addition many of the sequester cuts would be reversed.
In exchange for meeting, at least momentarily, all of Obama's demands, the House GOP is seeking a "framework" for future negotiations on addressing longer-term budget issues. These negotiations would be led for the Republicans by Rep. Paul Ryan, who is likely to seek a "grand bargain" resolving the nation's structural budget problems.
After such a swift capitulation on the current impasse, how likely is it that the GOP will be able to extract meaningful reforms during yet another round of budget talks? House Leadership has already shown that, when nearing an actual deadline, it will cave while extracting very few concessions.

Obama has shown his whole term he was unwilling to negotiate with the repubs. He's had the "I won " mentality from the start. The repubs have shown they are spineless and have empty threats in many instances as well. It's the one reason why I was kinda shocked that they stood up for a bit this time. Although I knew Obama would just wait them out and paint them as bad as he could in the process.

When something has been passed into law, there's nothing to negotiate.

Republicans now view a lie, and law as the same thing. They have thrown all the toys from their cribs. They are bottom-feeders of the highest order, with only a platform of lies to draw from.
The next real successful Republican of note, will only get to the top by accepting a truth as a truth, and law as law. They will continue to lose the Presidency as long as they continue to lie.
