A meat cleaver hangs over the federal government, but the unflappable men and women of the House majority remain cool and poised.
With just four days left to stop automatic spending cuts from affecting everything from air travel to food inspections, House Republicans had but one item on their agenda Monday: renaming a NASA facility in California.
