Senate Kills House Bill To Stop Government Shutdown

Revelation 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"

Democrats in the U.S. Senate voted along party lines to kill a bill from the House of Representatives that would keep the government operating past midnight but would implement a one-year delay in Obamacare.

The Republican-led House of Representatives offered a second continuing resolution to fund the government but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would refuse to make any changes to Obamacare. Both he and President Obama have said they are refusing to negotiate with Republicans to avoid the shutdown of the government.

“We are not going to change Obamacare,” Sen. Reid told reporters after he waited more than a day to lead a vote to kill the House measure.
