My pay check is on the fritz

This article talks about how the house has approved the stop gap budget deal, which is just extending the cuts that went into effect on march 1. Not only did this happen 5 days later but also happened because the federal government will have to close down if it does not. Now congress may be slow to get things done but when it comes to their pay check it seems like they work very fast. Do you think that there should be more accountability in the house and senate? What might be the the different frameworks for future budgets that democrats and republicans are working on? Can we ever get ourselves out of debt?
