I still see all of this as just more political posturing, and will be surprised if the budget isn't funded. We have no choice at this point, and I would imagine that even the majority of the Tea Party caucus realizes this.

Actually, the Tea Party can be used as an asset by the Pubbies. They can let them do their dirty work, and then lock 'em back in their cage once it's done.

Kind of like a junkyard dog.

I just read an article about the furlough, Pentagon employees returning to work and back pay for all. I'm thinking it's real. At the same time the president is still advocating ACA. So, I'm guessing the budget is passed and it's on to the debt ceiling?
