GOP demanding cuts as trade off for raising debt ceiling

Like we didn't see that coming.

Ryan said that, as he understands it, GOP leaders have told the White House: “In addition to raising the debt limit, we want financial controls, we want cuts in spending accompanying the raising of the debt ceiling.”

“Nobody wants to play around with the country's credit rating, nobody wants to see default happening, but we also think it is important to get a handle on future borrowing as we deal with raising the debt ceiling,” Ryan said.
And I'd like the public option, and I didn't get it. Why are GOP demands the only thing driving all of these talks?
