Government Shutdown

It seems this weekend as if anyone not preoccupied with riots in the Middle East or Midwest is focusing on the budget and the potential for a government shutdown following an Obama veto. So let me tell you all how it's going to play out, and then you can thank me later for saving you valuable time and eye power. It will get leaked that the White House is in "negotiations" with Republican leadership to reach a compromise bill. After much starting and stopping and many additional leaks expressing the anger and frustration of the various factions, voila said compromise will be reached. The new bill will closely mirror the initial Republican proposal save for a few changes designed to appease the ignorant public. Such is pragmatism in a one, I mean two, party system. Nothing to see here. Move along.
