What we need is the prez, both houses of congress and a ton of government paper pushers to stop wasting money.

Ahem...

The House just voted to keep the .gov open and fully funded and defund Abomicare. Of course the Senate and .prez won't play ball. So just exactly who is shutting the government down?

The lack of agreeing and passing a funding bill will result in a shut down. The senate will not pass the house bill in current form. Who's fault will it be? I guess that depends on your party affiliation!

I don't think there will be a shutdown over obamacare, the debt limit maybe but not obamacare.

All the vote today was about was passing the buck to the senate and posturing.

At the last minute the house leadership will push through the bill that comes back from the senate next week.
Boehner and Cantor will promise to fight obamacare in the next big battle, in a few weeks, over the debt limit.


I've seen this movie before.

Yup.

(but the House "posturing" and sending bills to the Senate has been SOP for decades...Even more so when the House and Senate are split)
