"The House voted 285-144 to reopen the government through Jan. 15, suspend the debt ceiling through Feb. 7 and lay the groundwork for talks over broader budget issues. The Senate earlier approved the bill 81-18."

They finally were able to complete an agreement. Will it be worth it though? Will they be able to work out the budget issues?

  2. kind of along the lines with what tanzi said, this seems to be a short-term relief. it is worrisome that despite all the chaos surrounding the shutdown, republicans continue to see it as a competition of sorts

  3. I'll be waiting for Feb 7th. Hopefully we can tackle this issue once and for all...well not for all. Since we decided in class that today's solutions lead to tomorrows problems
