Default Senate Votes 100-0 to Avert Government Shutdown

Quote:
The United States Senate has voted 100-0 to clear a procedural hurdle towards passing the stopgap funding bill averting a “government shutdown” that would arise in six days.

The vote followed upon Senator Ted Cruz 21-hour speech on the Congressional floor in favor of defunding Obamacare. The Senate’s overwhelming vote clears the way for debate on the House’s defunding bill.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is predicted to strip the defunding language from the bill and will likely send the bill back to the House for reconsideration. The House Republicans will then decide if a government shutdown promotes the end of reducing government spending ahead of the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling.

President Obama has said that he will not negotiate on the debt ceiling, thereby ensuring a government shutdown if the House Republicans push back against further debt-spending.

What do these elected clowns do to get their pay again?
Geez Louise if I did my job as half A$$ed as the government does, I would have been fired ages ago.

Not yet. They still have to strip the position and vote on the law itself. Then the House will get it.

The rumors are wrong. When it goes back to the house, they will insert a clause that says individuals should get the same break Obama gave to businesses and delay the individual mandate by one year. Then it is once again up to the Senate.

The first bill defunded it and killed it. This bill will simply delay it until the problems can be worked out.
