No End to Government Shutdown in Sight

Today (Wednesday) the White House had a meeting only one day after the government shutdown. This was pretty much a waste of time because they did not get any closer to a deal to halt the government's budget predicament. There has been no identification that they have agreed upon anything or have even changed their views. In fact neither side discussed any compromises. But instead were talking about a different crisis; weather or not they will be raising the debt ceiling. So I believe that this meeting was very pointless for the government shutdown.
