The Hill: Reports the following from the Republican House, " GOP leaders expect their measure will pass, despite complaints from House Democrats that it includes a fix to prevent a cut in doctor payments but does not extend federal unemployment benefits set to expire this month. ".
Lets Get Real:
When you have divided Government you have to DEAL, you never get 100% of what you want, if you want purity in politics your in the wrong game, the US has not had a Budget for years, the CR's passed are a way for chickens in both the House and Senate to get elected. The Republicans have made a good deal, its the fault of the Senate Democrats that there is no extension of federal unemployment benefits, they made it clear it was not a DEAL BREAKER, thus the Republicans who would never pass such a measure went along with the idea, its to late for liberal Democrats to be upset, pass the budget and lets get on to other matters, the repeal of ObamaCare or major reform would be a good idea, and helping the millions who have lost and will lose health cover due to ObamaCare.
