		<description><![CDATA[In recent weeks, most of the conversation in and around the nation’s capital has been the debt ceiling and the fiscal year 2012 budget. Will Congress raise the debt ceiling? Will President Obama and the House Republican Speaker John Boehner be able to work out an agreement they can sell to their parties? Will Congress approve a 2012 budget or end up doing continuing resolutions like the 2011 budget?  How big will cuts be to Medicare/Medicaid?  Will there be tax increases?  Even as the different parties involved draw their lines in the sand, these questions need to be answered. ]]></description>
