I still think that "Entitlement Reform" in some stealth fashion will get into the deal over the Govt. shut down negotiations. And, wouldn't put it past Repugs to do a trick midnight vote in six weeks over the Debt Ceiling if they don't get what they want to reopen the Govt. Pushing this off closer to holidays when they all want to get out of town might lead to mischief.

We shall see.
