re: #289 Vicious Babushka

Budget is supposed to be in place by October 1. That’s the deadline that the GOP blew past when they initiated the shutdown. The debt ceiling is tied to the spending and appropriations process, and the Treasury Department has already done what it can to extend the time before the ceiling is hit.

Any deal that doesn’t work for the full fiscal year will necessarily result in the nation being right back in this position in just a few weeks’ time because the GOP will be back at demanding the same thing they’ve been agitating for since 2009 - the repeal of the ACA.
