The fiscal year ends September 30th 2011. A voice vote in the House last week approved federal funding for keeping Congress in session until the end of the fiscal year. The vote was quick and its usual opposing votes were not seen. Even the predictable politicians who would have objected to the vote stayed quiet to avoid the government shutdown and to argue against the Democratic budget plan for 2012 on the first Tuesday of the new fiscal year. The calm and mature nature of the vote is new for the American people to see; especially since all the conflict and stubbornness intoxicating the House has been frustrating and unbelievable. This article reports that certain "mavericks" that are in the GOP should soon be seen before midnight Thursday September 29th to throw out the vote. I would be disappointed to hear such a stupid report because our government needs to start agreeing on and passing budget plans for 2012; it's their job. As of now, government spending and budget plans for 2012 are vital to our economy; which is why this article is top news.
