Well. We're all alive. Tonight before the deadline of midnight, Congress in Washington DC avoided a government shut down. Both the Senate and House agreed on a deal that would cut almost $80 billion from the budget, and yet include the controversial planned parenthood program. While they all debated, every Representative in the legislature had a chance to talk about their opinion on the bill and the budget. So, Congresswoman Donna Edwards a democrat from Maryland, decided to use her time to make a point instead of more hot air.
She did not blab about consequences or party politics (not this blog). Instead, she quoted the White Stripes' song, "Effect and Cause". She proves her argument. The Republicans may be creating a problem, while trying to fix one. All in all, the government will be funded. So, take some time and enjoy the White Stripes.
