re: #27 darthstar

Senate now on the motion to proceed to S. 1569, the debt limit bill from Democrats (extends to Dec 31, 2014)

this is gonna be the new reality for the foreseeable future: the government will remain shutdown and short term debt limit extensions will be passed every few months

other than that, the only things that will happen will be when the baggers, the senate, and the president occasionally agree on some spot items that they want to fund

welcome to the teabag version of the United States government
