RECAP: Here's What Happened Since Last Night On The Debt Limit/ Shutdown Negotiations
SHARE After House Republicans failed miserably at bringing their own budget and debt limit proposal up for a vote, the Senate last night stepped back in to take a lead on the negotiations. Today, theyre expected to bring up a new bill and then send it to the House for a final vote. Heres what the Senates newest proposal looks like:
Government funded through January 15
Debt limit extended until February 7
A budget conference established to come up with long-term spending plans by December 13
Income verification for recipients of subsidies under Obamacares newly-established exchanges
Senators hope that, after passing this proposal through their chamber, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) will swallow his pride and bring the same legislation to the floor of the House, despite vocal opposition from a minority of House Republicans. If brought up, the bill would likely pass with bipartisan support.
