On msnbc.com:

Source: GOP will approve 5- or 6- day measure to avert shutdown

From NBC's Luke Russert
While a final deal is hammered out by budget negotiators, House Republicans are expected to agree to a five or six day temporary government funding bill tonight that would prevent a government shutdown, a GOP source tells NBC News.

The stopgap measure will contain $3 billion in cuts and keep the government funded while the last details of a spending bill to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year are finalized. Both sides are close to a final deal on the long-term budget measure.

"This is the best deal we could get out of them," House Speaker John Boehner reportedly told GOP members in a closed-door caucus meeting of negotiations with Democrats.

Yep.  Deal is on the table.  Short term funding extension to Thurs, to allow them to write the "official" deal over the next week, but as of right now, the Cherry Blossom Parade will go on as planned.

Don't tell him but I was trying to hurry FI up with the "relations" so I could check the news yet again. Very glad that was averted.

I'm on disability right now, long term although I hope that will change soon.

I have to confess that I check the website to see if disability checks would be going out.

Is there a list somewhere of the cuts?  I can't find anything, only that PP won't be cut the 317 that the Reps wanted.
