Trend in what could be its biggest free market experiment in years. Announcer youre watching Worldwide Exchange bringing you Business News from around the globe. Well, the u. S. Government is on the brink of its first shutdown in 17 years if congress does not pass a stopgap spending bill by midnight. Early sunday the house approved a measure linking funding to a one year delay of president obamas Health Care Law. It would also repeal the medical device tax which helps pay for the law.

In large part were literally waiting for connecting flights back to dc. There is some drama, potentially here, jeff flaik it could fail, i think it is probably still more likely that we see this succeed than move on to the regul
