...a bill. And then we'll hit the debt ceiling unless we also pass another bill:
Anyone think we'll actually get something passed before then, or will it be a repeat of the Federal government shutdown in the 90s?
http://www.economist.com/node/18010469On March 4th the federal government will run out of money unless Congress first passes a bill voting more; a few weeks after that, it will bump up against the federal debt ceiling, now set at an apparently insufficient $14.3 trillion, unless, again, Congress votes to increase it. Both measures must be passed by a House of Representatives now firmly in Republican hands, and also require the support of seven or more Republican senators. The Republicans have vowed to exact deep spending cuts in return for their assent. The president will not accept these. The stage is set for a savage spring.
