With the beginning of the shutdown we saw Senator Ted Cruz stand up to the liberals and filibuster the Senate.
We saw the GOP provide four different compromise plans to avoid this shut down. The GOP's original proposal was to cut Obamacare and fund the entire government. I think this is a pretty good compromise since majority of Americans are against Obamacare. We know this law will cause all sorts of damage to the American economy, healthcare system and overall to this country. As well as we have a huge deficit and we need to cut a lot more, like over a trillion dollars more. But thats a article for another time.
Throughout this shutdown we saw President Obama refusing to compromise and stated that he will not compromise. We saw Harry Reid come out and say that there is no need to compromise and that they wont.
The agreement that they made would extend the debt ceiling through February 7, 2014 and keeps the government running until January 15, 2014.
