My Comments: I've watched the proceedings as much as possible the last 10 days and it's quite easy as I watch it live, to see the why and what's going on.

1) Delay the ACA mandate for individuals for 1 year so the states are ready with their exchanges and other messes can be cleared up just as Obama did for countless others like big box stores and unions
2) Their funding resolution keeps government open until Dec. 15 at a level of $986 billion.
