Government shutdown avoided
Last night, after months of negotiations and a near-government shutdown, Congress and the White House reached an agreement on the 2011 fiscal year continuing resolution. The agreement is a two-step process. Right after midnight this morning, the House and the Senate passed a stop gap measure, averting a government shutdown and funding the federal government for six more days while cutting $2 billion in those six short days. Then, early next week, both chambers will vote on a complete funding bill for the remaining agencies that will cut $39 billion from the 2010 levels. All said, House Republicans have secured $79 billion in cuts from President Obama’s budget proposal for FY11. The agreement also cuts funding for abortions in the District of Columbia, assures an up or down vote in the Senate on both cutting funding for Planned Parenthood and on defunding ObamaCare, and cuts some of the allocated funds for ObamaCare. Below is Congressman Westmoreland’s statement.
obama really hasn't done anything, but sadly he will get re-elected.
That's why we are in the condition we are today is fron REGANONOMIC!!!!!
As I recall we would not be in this situation if President Clinton did not work in tandum with certian mortage lenders; what this did was to put people into houses that in the end they could not afford. He issued money for down payment programs that he should not have. Then there is the whole car fiasco as well.
Bubble boy George Bush and his sidekick Alan Greenspan created a huge economic house of cards.
Republicants are 19th century thinkers in a 21st century world. We are all the poorer for their failed policies from Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan, the Bush family. Oh I forgot to include Nixon.
YIKES- its amazing the Republic still stands.
He may never have a need to return anyway. He has earned more frequent flier miles from Air Force One than all commercial airlines combined.
