So we have now deadlines that are only months out for both the debt ceiling having risen and for the government to re open so what is inside this deal is a deadline of mid december for this Budget Committee and for all of lawmakers to come to an agreement on a longterm deficit strategy. So this is sort of a laying down of the blueprint by mid december of what were going to do for taxes and spending for the next decade or so. This they hope will keep us from facing these two crises again. I guess its only fitting that congress does this work and they are now taking a break, right . Reporter yeah.
