Budget: How it ends

With only three days left until a possible government shutdown, nobody — not even those in charge — know how the budget battle will end. Or if it will end.

The scenarios are all very messy and each would trigger either an immediate crisis or set the stage for an even more damaging showdown over the debt limit.

House Republicans are in disarray as the leadership discards one strategy after another, unable to unify the conference. The Senate is likely to leave town Friday after sending a funding bill back to the House that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has already said he can’t accept.

 if this cycle has taught us some of us anything it's, who is serious, who is not doing their job , who's ratings are at 8% approval and that is probably family members and are we going to be gullible enough to continue to pay them for this?

The GOP suffers from PTSD when it comes to government shutdowns. It took the political hit for the last one, in 1995-96, and many members worry about history repeating itself.

that should be a no doubt, they keep doing the same stuff over and over and it always ends the same so why would history not repeat itself they set the stage and control the curtain strings they can close it or leave it wide open  and what ever comes or goes is still on their heads.

their base is not large enough for their base to protest and make some noise to influence any kind of right wing skulduggery that they know they would be the ones who'll feel like they fell in a hole with everybody looking down on them.
