Endgame Viable

So yesterday, with the prospect of the Senate jumping in and solving everything first, the House rushed to get their own world-saving legislation passed, presumably because Boehner knows that if the House is forced into a position to vote no on whatever the Senate is doing, his Republicans will lose any chance of coming out of this thing without the full burden of the blame for shutting down the government and destroying America’s credit rating. Sadly the House attempts ended in miserable failure, because of-you guessed it-House Republicans, who apparently continue to believe that they can still vote on the laws debated in prior legislative sessions. Today, however, we are assured (again) that the Senate deal is close and will save us all, and everybody will approve it, and everything will be back to normal. Until January. If House Republicans go for it. Which based on their past performance, you have to think they won’t. Because if they do, then they did all this for nothing. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/senate-leaders-close-shutdown-deal
