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!"
House Republicans have sent a proposal to President Obama that would end the 11 day partial government shutdown and avert a default by raising the nation’s debt ceiling.
The proposal includes changes in Obamacare as part of the end to the impasse. Also, some benefit programs would also see budget cuts.
The President has previously said he will not negotiate with Republicans on federal spending until the government is reopened and the debt ceiling raised without any conditions. The White House had seemed open to negotiation on Thursday until Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid appeared at the White House to have a meeting with the President.
“[It’s time to] put this hysterical talk of default behind us and instead start talking about finding solutions to the problems,” Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters.
