Thanks. So far, it looks like we dodged a bullet. They certainly waited until the last minute, but it looks like Geo will be going to work on Monday.
I don't understand the Dems. They had a chance to pass a budget before the midterm elections (when they had control of both houses), but they decided to wait until after the elections in the hopes of keeping their seats. That certainly backfired, didn't it? They lost the supermajority they had in both houses (if I understand correctly), and they lost control of the House. Great move there.
Advice to both parties: Next time, stop worrying about your next election, and do the job you were elected to do in the first place.

Sorry. Had to vent that.
