White House Meeting Fails to Yield a Budget Deal (Again) (The Atlantic Wire)

And, again, they failed to find agreement, further stoking fears that a government shutdown is inevitable. The mood following tonight’s meeting was decidedly less hopeful than it was after last night’s summit and some of the progress that had been achieved earlier today.
