hooray for the tea party
The House on Friday passed an un-Constitutional bill (H.R. 1255), that would mandate that if the Senate doesn't pass it's financial bill by April 6, that the House version automatically becomes law. Totally un-Constitutional, but that didn't stop 221 republicans from voting for it.
Meanwhile, the website Goveexec.com has a nice "Government shutdown Countdown" ticker on the top of it's page. You can easily see how long before the government shutdown hits:

STOP THE SPENDING!
Let's get the point across and maybe the Senate, and it's leaders, will actually consider the bills already in the Senate OR come up with their own bill. They are not doing their jobs and should be held accountable for it.
I will be here on the 8th and beyond, pay or no pay, because that is what I am commissioned to do. I will do it happily knowing that our government and those that we voted into office are doing their job.

No.
A bill becomes law when BOTH bodies pass it, and the President signs it.
For the Health Care law, that took place.
For the spending bill H.R. 1255, that has not taken place.
No more on that issue here. That is a conversation for beltway.
The purpose of this thread is to note the count down to shut-down, as indicated above.

Well I'll tell you this, I'm growing tired of not having a bill signed. I have a jacked-budget & people who are depending on a bill. This is really screwing things up. This whole mess has created a bunch of extra work for everyone.
