Speaker Boehner: Doesn't See Senate Spending Bill Getting Passed in House
Looking for a way to avoid a government shutdown
Top House Republican leaders Thursday rejected the short-term spending plan expected to be passed by the Senate in coming days, increasing the possibility of a government shutdown next week.
Asked if the House would pass the bill unchanged once it is sent from the Senate, Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) replied: "I do not see that happening."

If Obama wants a budget, he can spend some time negotiating.
Screw him and any shut-down is only to be desired.
