Government is Still Open for Business WITH no cuts in Planned Parenthood

The partisan game of ‘chicken’ gave every indication that neither Democrats or Republicans would flinch. The resulting crash would have brought the government to a halt Saturday morning.
Democrats and Republicans agreed on a budget deal and a short-term funding extension a little more than an hour before a partial government shutdown would have occurred. The short-term deal will fund the government through the middle of next week.

A majority of Americans – 58% wanted congressional lawmakers to seek compromise to avoid a government shutdown, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday. This leads one to wonder why on earth the other 42% felt a shut down would be beneficial.
