Tonight on the program, Congress approves the budget compromise, funding the federal government through the end of the fiscal year. Also, we look at the ongoing deficit debate with Paul Krugman and Douglas Holtz-Eakin and then we examine the fallout from a resignation at the FAA over an air-traffic controller falling asleep on the job. Finally, we look at China's looming health care problem.
