Government Reopens Short Term, IRS Starts Auditing, Parks Open

In an attempt to hoodwink more Americans, the Government shutdown, i.e. showdown, has been temporarily lifted until January 15, 2014, when it defunds itself again.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (INTELLIHUB) — Late Wednesday night an agreement was reached in the House and Senate then signed by President Barack Obama that will allow the U.S. Government to reopen, buying Americans another 90 days.

“Let’s be honest, this is pain inflicted on our Nation for no good reason”, stated Sen. Harry Reid late Wednesday, preceding passing votes in the House and Senate. However, all of this has some up-in-arms as they wonder what will happen in 90 days.

To top it all off the debt ceiling has been lifted, but only until Feb. 7, 2014, signifying that America is in a much deeper crisis than originally thought by some experts.

“White House Office of Management and Budget director Sylvia Mathews Burwell confirmed that President Obama had signed the bill in a statement issued at about 12:45 a.m., adding that the OMB would “work closely with Departments and Agencies to make the transition back to full operating status as smooth as possible.”

Speaking from the White House press briefing room after the Senate vote, President Obama said the government would begin reopening immediately after he signed the bill, meaning a long-awaited return to work for thousands of federal workers on Thursday morning.

“We can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty from our businesses and from the American people,” he said.”, reported CBSNews.com[1]

Under the new passage, furloughed Government workers will be paid retroactively and States will be reimbursed with much-needed funds they were denied since Oct. 1.

Although none of this makes sense as spending has started again, this once great Nation continues to dig a hole for its own shallow grave. We just bought 90 days.
