That's why politicians generally try to avoid doing these types of things in an election year.

As for "Will it happen?", I don't know.

I agree that a year in political terms is a lifetime. People keep asking me if I think Hillary will become president and I tell them a shit load can happen from now til 2016. I don't even know if she will get the nomination.

Then they expect the same people to get worked up if GUBMINT might SHUT DOWN!!

They don't want another shutdown, and the Repubs will hurt themselves if they go for it.
