Guide to government shutdown

[Captain Crawfish]

I bought these

Traded kog before real good one. I like 3x etf s now since they move a lot in short time frames. I'm betting on a last minute deal. Hope it happens

no shutdown deal at last hour watch. be ready to load up on some things that have lost value over the past few days.

Yen, Euro, every other market currency...you know!

From Cruz's aid: Boehner has said that he'll hold a vote on a clean CR after the Senate slaps down their latest bill. Boehner has thrown in the towel

[Forever_frost]

This is getting complicated, my Twitter feed of both houses is swamped. Rep King (R-NY) thought he had enough RINOs to refuse to defund Obamacare in the House and tried to stage a coup against the Tea Partiers. He fell FAR short of what he claimed he had and had to sit down and shut up.

Rumors are that Boehner is saying he'll push for a clean CR after the Senate slaps latest bill down but the House has adjourned for the evening. Not sure what happens next.

Clean CR?

Clean CR?

A CR that funds Obamacare and everything until Dec 15th at current levels

Continuing resolution
A continuing resolution is a type of appropriations legislation used by the United States Congress to fund government agencies if a formal appropriations bill has not been signed into law by the end of the Congressional fiscal year. The legislation takes the form of a joint resolution, and provides funding for existing federal programs at current, reduced, or expanded levels.

Senate rejects 3rd bill from House today 54-46

[dcs13]

The House needs to start sending over CR's for each of the goverment appropriations , except hhs (obamacare)... Send them one by one... Social Security first, medicare second, and so on....
Harry Reid is a effing prick and needs to take his senile ass back to Nevada and sit it the desert for a week or two

[Forever_frost]

Reid says he is refusing ANY negotiations because he's, and I'm not playing, scared of the Tea Partiers taking that inch and demanding more on the debt ceiling

[Captain Crawfish]

Senate kicks the house bill. Drag it out till last hour

[War Machine]

Government shut down, will this affect welfare checks?

[Forever_frost]

No, welfare checks won't be effected. Latest news:

Clean CR off the table. House leadership says their people would never back it. Boehner is scared he'll lose Speakership

Edit: House GOP pissed that Reid won't budge and said that they'll drag him to the table in conference committee, away from CSPAN

[Captain Crawfish]

House senate budget conference now

These asshats haven't passed a budget in 5 years. They should have 5 years of their pay removed. Pay that forward.
