>> the cr or the debt limit? >> both. >> both? its expected that well fund the government through january 15th and the debt limit through early february. an agreement reached over in the senate. and it gives us a chance to sit down in the budget process and see if we cant work something out. i think were on a spending trajectory thats unaffordable for the american people. it will create more debt. it needs to be dealt with. >> are you going to allow the whole house to vote even if the majority o...
