I doubt it. But in any event, maybe they should have budgeted instead of circle jerking all year long

Government shuts down

Republicans could have made a stand and forced the Dems to actually create a spending plan that shows how things will be financed. But the 53 Republicans that caved are probably getting either bribed or blackmailed. Or they're a part of the same party but are Republican in name only. Romney leading the way of course.
