Seems like it could go either way. I'd probably say with they will sign a short term extension.

ME User ID: 47748958 United States 10/14/2013 08:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.usatoday.com] Quoting: Iron. WASHINGTON — Senate leaders said Monday they are close to an agreement to reopen government and avoid an unprecedented U.S. debt default before the Thursday deadline. "We hope with good fortune and the support of all you (senators) —recognizing how hard this is for everybody — that perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Monday evening on the Senate floor. This is just another holiday to look forward to every year when they magically make a decision they should of made a long time ago. Better off not even watching news it is all about hype like these forums and in the end the obvious happens. |

Just politics as usual, if any of you noticed most of the federal government is still operating. Obama said a few days ago this would have an effect on social security and other entitlements, if people stopped getting those (I think they should stop getting them in a lot of ways) then there would be a lot of chaos.

He's bullshitting, they cannot shut off social security checks. He is drumming up fear so people pressure the repubs to give in without getting anything they wanted. It is backfiring, if the republicans hold strong they can at least get a couple demands met. |

Lex Talionis User ID: 45146607 United States 10/14/2013 09:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It looks like we won't know much until tomorrow, and the deal's viability is anything but certain. "Boehner will brief his colleagues at an all-important House conference meeting tomorrow morning. In deciding whether to spurn McConnell, a key issue for Boehner is whether he can get his conference to back something that’s sufficiently modest it’s seen as a plausible compromise by Democrats and the public. “That is the challenge, is to figure out how to thread the needle between getting any 218 votes here that we can also get whatever it is closed to passing or being seen as reasonable on the other side of the Capitol,” Stivers says."

They have the power to shut this down right now, but no they're going to talk about a new plan. That new plan won't pass the house. The senate has the house passed bills, all they have to do is accept them as is. That's how they passed the Obamacare that they didn't really want in the first place. Pussies the whole damn bunch of them. |
