This, of course, is great news unless the TP screw the deal and prevent its passage. The only way that this gets done is if Boehner drops the Hastert rule to allow Democrats to vote along with a handful of GOPers to fund government.

From what I’m hearing of the framework deal, it would roll back a number of sequester cuts, and might also include transportation funding, but the transportation funding formula would be altered to give priority to motor vehicle projects (roads) rather than mass transit - states would get more funds for car-centric projects than mass transit.

That’s not necesarily good, but having a deal in place is better than no deal at all - especially since the deal would hike the debt ceiling and kick it down to 2017 (2-year deal).
