The big news of the day is that the President and Congress managed to tentatively agree on a debt deal that allows the U.S. Government to raise the debt ceiling, pay the interest on their debts, and avoid a technical default. Continuing the similarities between the Minnesota state shutdown and the federal situation, no one seems too happy with the necessary deal. With the upcoming vote on the plan put forth by federal leaders, the Minnesota Independent has summed up where our state’s representatives stand on the proposal–and even though the proposal is expected to pass, it turns out that so far that everyone but Senator Klobuchar (for the agreement) and Bachmann (against) is undecided at this point.

Update: The bill has passed the House, with Reps. Cravaak and Bachmann on the Right and Reps. McCollum and Ellison on the Left casting votes against the measure. The Senate will vote on the bill Tuesday morning.
