- Both sides have been finger pointing for weeks now. This wouldn't change all that much. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 7, 07:37

  - The article has already been updated, with Reid saying there is broad agreement on spending, but the Reps want to rewrite the Clean Air Act and ban - Roger More Apr 7, 07:46
- I don't know about that. Prior to the 95/96 shutdowns Clinton rejected similar CR measures; didn't hurt him much. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 7, 07:17
