Now that the federal government is open and the debt ceiling has been raised, Congress will attempt once again to figure out a way to reach a long term budget deal. The agreement reached Wednesday is a temporary fix.

The government is financed through January 15th and the debt ceiling will need to be addressed again by February 7th. If Congress can't work out a compromise by early next year, the U.S. could be back in the same crisis situation again.

One of the lawmakers who helped craft this week's deal was Minnesota DFL Senator Amy Klobuchar. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Sen. Klobuchar on Morning Edition.
