A deal to raise the Debt Ceiling and open the government has been brokered and passed in the Senate with John Boehner saying that the House will vote on it today. With the soft spined Republicans and Nancy Pelosi's Democrats voting for it the "McConnell - Reid" deal will pass in the House and go to Obama to be signed. The last chance to save the Republic may have just passed us by and our media will be telling us about what a great victory for the "people" this was.
