It isn’t very often that when the phrase “Tentative Agreement” is used and people are excited. Well, this might be one of those rare moments, as news has just broken that there is a Tentative Agreement within the Senate to reach a budget deal.
What does this mean, well not really sure yet? All of the details of the agreement have yet to be released, but for the moment this looks like we will be able to reopen the Federal Government and get a lot of Americans back to work. But let’s be honest, it is time. The political rhetoric has gone on too long and it is time to put partly politics aside and let’s do what is right for the country. Enough is enough.
So as the news is breaking and will be throughout the day a few things to watch or that I’ll be paying close attention to are:
- The House of Representatives and see what they are saying/doing.
- The stock market & how it views this. My guess is that if the agreement is in fact done, then there will be a favorable view and the markets will be up.
- The other countries, especially China, as they are in fact the largest holder of our debt.
- Leaders of both parties. Who comes out and says that this deal was done for the good of the country, not party politics.
As a political junkie, I love this stuff. As an American, I am beyond annoyed with our political parties and I am very disappointed in both sides of Congress.
But, one thing I do think that will come from this, is that politicians will realize that their jobs will be up for re-election soon and how many are going to lose their seats.
