| Broke is broke! |
Today the House takes up the "temporary" continuing resolution that will cut $4B from the budget over the next two weeks. The purpose is to keep the government running while the Senate battles over HR 1.
The cuts in the temporary resolution are those that President Obama has called for in the past so it will be hard for House Democrats to balk. Debate starts at 12 noon, EST. The temporary resolution is expected to pass with the vote around 3 pm, EST.
Then to the Senate where both HR 1 ($61B in cuts over seven months) and the temporary resolution will be on their plate. If Senate Democrats refuse both it will be a government shutdown on their watch... not ours.
