Shutdown over

After over two weeks the government shutdown ended last night when cooler heads prevailed. Lead by the women of the senate, a compromise bill was passed. It's only a temporary reprieve, but both sides have said that they learned from the experience and it won't happen again. I wish that were true of the Tea Party members who actually caused it. Sen. (R) Ted Cruz of Texas showed absolutely no remorse and even blasted his fellow Republicans for caving in. This guy is one of the primary reason why Congress has only a 5% approval. The shutdown cost the US Economy $24B, and he didn't care. Amazing!
