As soon as possible as Monday, the federal government may possibly shutdown. That means big trouble for a lot of people that get that trash picked up & people that like to go to the museums & such. They will all be closed; a lot of people won’t get paid. The argument is overall is the new profit eal they are trying to get done. The republicans & democrats can’t seem to agree on a budget, & without a budget the government will shutdown. Obama’s people have met with numerous staff and majority leaders to make plans to cut spending, they’ve came to original agreements of a mark point spending number, but republicans still have to yet to agree on anything. Republicans want to take more out of healthcare, which would leave elderly & people who can’t afford it out on the ropes. Democrats propose cuts netting $73 billion in savings below Obama’s original requests – or $33 billion below current spending levels. Barry-O met last night with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boenher. He said yet again there is no agreement on the level of spending cuts. Obama took his most forceful steps yet in trying to prod the stalled talks. He called the White House meeting, rejected a Republican proposal for an interim bill pairing additional spending cuts with a one-week plan to keep the government open, and then announced that Boehner and Reid would meet later in day.Hopefully they settle the budget befor Monday, because even though they government is shutdown, life still goes on.
