this is not an issue of whether to fund the government; it is an issue that the Federal Reserve has depleted their available funds with QE1 and QE2 and have no more money. They need new funds from government deficit spending to continue a futile effort to save the Rothschild's international banking scheme from the bankruptcy the fraudulent housing crisis has recipitated. Any rescue permitted by Republicans will only be a postponement as the exponential increase in imaginary claims to wealth by direveties has created. Deficit spending is instant money for the Fed.  www.usa-the-republic.com,  RIP OFF BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE
