Differences to reach washington biggest issues. An agreement was reached that includes a three month extension of both government funding and a threemonth increase in the debt limit whil pro Hurricane Relief money. House speaker ryan had called the democratic proposal ridiculous. But then later in the day, the Top Senate RepublicanMitch Mcconnell said he supports the where had. Kayla has the aisle. President trump struck a deal with with democrats to the government and suspend the debt ceiling, but only until december 15th. The plan was first floated wednesday morning by democratic leaders. Hours later, the president agreed to support it. Republicans were planning a three month extension on spend, but one in the debt ceiling through 2018. Chuck schumer said his deal offers more certainty. Theg the debt ceiling and were going to do it with date not an amount means theres room to deal. Mitch mcconnell said he would add the deal because it has the president s backing to a bill for Hurricane Relief. Expected to pass this week. His feeling was that we needed toe together to not create a picture of device iness ive at a time of Genuine National crisis. The deal Buys Congress three months to find common ground, but the issues are familiar turf for many bitter battles in me. Republicans seem to have had an upper hand thanks to a slow majority in congress, but many worried privately the white houses t for democrats will put them on flat footing come december. Lets get some perspective on todays developments from bryan gardner. Welcome. Good to have you. This decision unexpected to say the least, basically punts the budget and debt ceiling debate into december. Why do this shortterm patch and what does it mean for progress on tax reform . Great question. Why do it shortterm. I think doing a shortterm debt ceilg extension is just bad idea and its going to put congress i ward positi in a couple of months, the timing is uncertain. It may go beyond december into next year. I do think that the as you alluded to, that the reason for doing this is to try and clear the decks for the rest of the fall so congress can turn its attention to tax reform, which is the president s number one priority. Or at least it s not sure its going to work out as planned. I think it could be counterproductive. I think theres going to be blowback from republicans that will hurt his attempts to pass tax reform. But i think thats the reason why he did it was to get tax reform back on track. Now, if indeed things go along and were at the december deadline, is again, the race to the end of the year, the race to the 11th hour on that will have to be dprased . Certainly, the spending bills will come up in the middle of december and theres going the threat of a Government Shutdown. No doubt about t the debt ceiling is a little different. Treasury is once again will have its extraordinary measures to manage this this ceiling, manage the debt limit and stay under it as it has for the months. E could last into the middle of 2018. So it might be a little bit longer term than what were counting on, but certainly, when we get into the holiday season, a Government Shutdown is goi going tok looming. I have no doubt about that. I think we were expecting it would be punted to year end and this is playing out how we expected. I think each side is going to start to dig in its heels and certainly conservative republicans are going to dig in more. Most feel they didnt get anything out of this. Theyre going to want to have something to show for today when they get to december. Two questions. Did the republicans get rolled on this . Did the president get rolled . Number two i gather that passing a full year budg reall critical to get tax reform done. Why is that . So, i think that the president capitulated on this. I dont think he got any re eck september for clearing the decks. Thats a judgment call on the white houses. The second part, people who dont get into budget geeky stuff, its an outline. A road m unususually, even people in washington dont in order to get to the reconciliation rules and strategy that the republicans need to pass tax reform, you resolu. Okay. The budget resolution must e instructions. Therefore, if theres no budget resolution, theres no reconciliation. If not, theres no tax reform, so these are, getting it done is critical to getting to the tax nearly 8 billion was approve d for harvey relegal. Some 40 of Small Businesses hit by Flood Disaster like harvey never reopen according to the federal Emergency Management agency. Part of reason, theyre not covered. Most are covered by whats known as a Business Owner policy or bop which does not include flood coverage. That can be obtained through a program or excess policy through a participating carrier. Fda has physical and Economic Injury loans for Small Businesses. Both with caps of 2 million. Homeowners can apply for disaster stance and elig to 20 dwaul fi for about 40,000. After the 2005 gulf coast hurricanes including katrina, they approved 10. 9 billion in funding for some 160,000 loans. After hurricane sandy, the fba approved 2. 5 billion for some 27 recovery loans and even though its managed through the Small Business administration, the majority of these loans were approved to homeowners and renters, not Small Businesses. While the damage from harvey is sill being assessed, theyre recommending all businesses and homeowners get their claims in as soon as possible as it can take up to four weeks to get funding approved.

I see this as a practice run. Either its d worth it or ill be ready for next one. Right now, people are preparing without panicking and stores like this are trying to keep the s concerned because this be one of the worst storms in the states history. With irma on the heel of harvey, could this be a one two punch for the economy . Paul wallach is director of weather strat ajnd swroinsk abo. If indeed irma takes the path its projected and has a dregt hit on florida in the wake of harvey, what kind of losses could we be looking at . Oh, it could be basically ae harvey. Its kind of a almost a worst Case Scenario with this track a beeline straight for south florida, straight for miami. Right up the coast and into georgia, south carolina. That path is, is literally our worst Case Scenario. And what makes it really worse case is that this is coming seven or eight days after we just went through hurricane harvey. To have those both happen at the same time just seems inconceivable. One thing i notice it seems to be moving more quickly than harvey. Harvey just kind of sat there. Number two, the predictions are that more relatively of the damage will come from wind than with harvey, where most was with flooding. How does that change the insurablety of some of the losses that ar sust. The area its target iing. Its a very built up area. Youre right, it wont be as big a flood risk, but a big impact as it relates to storm surge ahlo before i came in to check the Weather Forecast on weather. Com for sunday. On that app, its saying winds will be 140 miles an hour. Those winds can cause tremendous damage. And its just such a built up area and theres so much stuff in the way that the insured loss will be significantly higher than it was potentially with harvey. And then the overall losses could be comparable or worse. The estimates for put out by swissry for example, we could see well over 100 billion from a track like this. Its a big, dangerous risky storm. I think the keyword is big. When massive. So its not just miami. I was wa it. Residual winds it most parts o on one part of the hurricane or on the backside of the hurricane. So the scope is so much bigger than harvey. Thats right. And its following the path we saw last year with hurricane matthew, but it took a jog to the right and kept the worst winds just offshore. That possibility is still here. Just a very slight shift in the track and it can change the trajectory of the damage from being catastrophic to being just se so were hoping for that, but right now, i dont know. All the models are looking pretty grim. Well keep our eye on it. Thank you very much. In the program. Global busin floridans may be watching the aftermath of harvey to avoid fraud and scams.
