"This is a short-term agreement"

We are near the Capitol where an agreement was reached in the Senate between Democratic Leader Harry Reid and Republican Leader Mitch Mcconnell. An agreement that will allow the Government to reopen the closed services, raise the debt ceiling and create conditions for further negotiations on the budget. This is the good news. The less good news is that it will only push the problem to the beginning of next year.

Next to me is Tahman Bradley, of ABC News. Tahman, who are the winners and losers of this arm wrestle?

Tahman Bradley:

From a purely political standpoint, the winners are clearly the Democrats and the White House. Let's see what happened. A small faction of the Republican party, the Tea Party, decided to use the vote of its members to confront the Government and use government debt as a means of pressure to change the health system reform from President Obama, but that's not going to happen. They were forced to surrender and surrender of unconditionally.

Stefan gross:

Tahman, this arm wrestle became a standard procedure in Washington for some time. Think the public condemnation of this crisis will change anything in Washington? The way it works in Washington is going to change?

Tahman Bradley:

This is an interesting question. President Obama said in an interview that he believes the Republicans got the message and that won't try this play again. But I believe that in January or February we're going back to the starting point. This is a short-term agreement. In January, Congress will have to increase funding and again in February rise again the debt ceiling. The pressure groups have opened loopholes and are saying they will not abandon the fight against Obamacare, despite all this.
