WASHINGTON -- Less than two days after the government shut down, there are now more than 17 Republicans who say they're ready to pass a bill to fund the government with no strings attached, giving the House the votes it needs to pass a clean funding bill.
All 200 Democrats would need to stick together and team up with those Republicans to pass the bill, but House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would have to be willing to put it to a vote, which so far he has given no indication he will do. But if he does, the votes appear to be there. The Senate would pass the bill in no time, sending it to be signed by President Barack Obama and ending the shutdown.
The votes in the House are there to end it, and Boner won't allow a vote....SHAME!
The Republicans will not walk away from the Shutdown without Concessions.
It's simply not going to happen.
The question will be, what will get cut from the Gov't in the final scenario............

The only thing I could imagine is cutting welfare back 2009. Anything else would hurt the economy and our edge in science @ tech.
Shutting the government down is the wrong way to go.
Killing science and our economy is just dumb.
