Not really. Initially, democrats didn't want to cut anything, and republicans wanted to cut around $33B. After negotiations, republicans renegged, and said they now want to cut $66B. The democrats are willing to cut $38B now, which is more than compromise.
This is just another one of the many stupid stunts the republicans are pulling to try and make Obama look bad. This one backfired on them though. No way they're coming out looking good on this one.
Or who knows, maybe it's just a pre-written story we're all watching, and isn't actually real.
