Government Shutdown

Observant1

A stopgap spending bill introduced yesterday omits funding for Israel and Ukraine.
It faces opposition from both parties in Congress.
This bill is DOA.

"A document explaining Johnson’s proposal to House Republicans, obtained by The Associated Press, said funding for four spending bills would be extended until Jan. 19. Veterans programs, and bills dealing with transportation, housing, agriculture and energy, would be part of that extension."

"Funding for the eight other spending bills, which include defense, the State Department, Homeland Security and other government agencies would be extended until Feb. 2."

“'My opposition to the clean CR just announced by the Speaker to the @HouseGOP cannot be overstated,' Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, tweeted on X. 'Funding Pelosi level spending & policies for 75 days - for future promises.'”

"The White House, meanwhile, panned the plan as 'unserious,' unworkable and a threat to national security and domestic programs."

Playing with fire. Texas Rep. Chip Roy The Bald fills the seat that many of us wish had gone to Wendy Davis in that past election. The level of over-spending is nuts, yes. As long as the thinking persists which treats raising taxes as the Mortal Sin which must not happen, it will all simply...continue.
