Government shutdown averted with last minute budget deal
Congress and the White House reached a six month stopgap to fund the government through April 4 while cutting about 38.3 billion dollars from federal spending. Senate leader Reid and Speaker Boehner issued a joint statement praising the cuts as historic. The agreement avoids an immediate shutdown and requires approval from both chambers and the president next week.
