But I do understand politics.the senate WANTS to pass up bills that are so far flung that they must be vetoed. So whats the difference between not sending a bill, or sending a bogus load of crap that will nmever pass the white house? politics. the USA is due to run out of funding for some programs at the end of FEB. The funding will have ammendments that have nothing to do with the current problem,forcing someone to give in.Nothing new here, been that way for decades.
