Washington (CNN) -- The Senate passed a short-term spending bill that will fund the government through Wednesday, averting a shutdown while the chamber debates a bill to fund the government.

The bill on the short-term funding will now go to President Barack Obama for his signature. Without the short-term measure, funding was slated to dry up Saturday evening.

The Senate is expected to vote Monday on the $1.1 trillion package, which has already passed the House, Sens. Mitch McConnell and Barbara Mikulski said late Friday.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a procedural move to set up a vote on final passage in the Senate no later than Monday.

McConnell, the incoming Senate majority leader, had reached a deal with Reid to adjourn for the weekend and resume Monday to clear the bill.

The only way a nation empire can remove itself from it's debt load is by annexing another nation as Rome did on occasion when it too had debased it's gold and sold it's soul to the highest bidder like a gladiator from hell. Speaking the H word ..... it's all going to brake to the loose side when the general public wakes up and figures it's been looted and nations around the world ask for their gold back and the FED and COMEX can't or wont deliver. No wonder some people want a one way ticket to Mars... ;)
