Keeping the doors open on several agencies and making sure out of work families can put food on the table and pay rent? Uh, yeah, that is an emergency. The normal order of business in the Senate has been hijacked by Republicans who are putting forth every delay tactic they can on every order of business that comes up. If they would grow the fuck up and try and actually legislate, we could pass reform bills to reform health care, spur further job creation, reduce the deficit and get a real budget in place that conforms to pay as you go rules.
