Stopgap sending bill

Just hours before the midnight deadline, Obama signed the stopgap spending bill that averts shutdown. This gives congress and the president about 10 more weeks to fashion longer-lasting budget deal. When Obama signed it he said Americans deserve far better than last-lasting, short-term legislating. The legislation finances the government for 10 more weeks ,until December 11,  to negotiate a more wide-ranging budget deal that will carry past the next presidential election. The administration is seeking on spending the money on defense and domestic programs in the coming negotiations, while many others want to stop the spending increase, or limit the money on to defense.
