I think the federal calender has them going off starting Dec 14th or 15th,  through the end of the year. But I hear they'll stick around DC until a budget is hammered out

"You're going to have to cut defense spending."
"I thought you said I'd have to cut entitlements, which is it?"
"You have to do that, too!"
"I don't have time for this, I need to work on my reelection campaign... figure it out yourself, Mr. Meeseeks."
"Hey, Paul, we need to focus on the task at hand... It's gettin' kinda wieeeeeeerd for me..."
