Okay, the House passed the Senate budget bill and President Obama signed it and all the federal workers furloughed will be back on the job today.
It has been an interesting exercise in seeming futility for the House GOP. If it weren't for the sabotage by RINO (or Vichy) Republicans like McCain, Corker, McCain, Graham and others, we might have been able to squeeze some important, and necessary, concessions out of the Democrats and Obama.
Although many find fault with House Speaker John Boehner on many things (as I do), at least he put up a fight this time instead of immediately caving in.
I know what I am going to do. I will be contributing to conservative challengers to the turncoat Republicans in the Senate who are up for re-election in 2014! These Vichy Republicans have got to go!
On the plus side, it appears that I should get a check from the Department of Agriculture for the farm program I'm in. It'll probably be 2-3 weeks late, but at least it will be coming (probably at about the same time the crop check comes in).
Right about that time, it looks like I might be going to a mandatory settlement conference on a claims job. So it looks like the cash will be flowing mightily in November. It'll come in handy when I start sending in those campaign contributions.
