The House of Representatives has voted to send the short-term government funding bill to President Biden’s desk to avoid a government shutdown. The House voted 254-175 to fund the government through December 3rd. Thirty-four Republicans voted with all Democrats in support of the bill.
The Hill reports:
The House last week passed the same bill along party lines, but with a provision that suspended the debt limit until mid-December of next year.
The Senate failed to advance the original House-passed bill on Monday due to Republicans’ insistence that they will not vote to prevent a debt default, which Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said could happen after Oct. 18 if Congress doesn’t act in time.
Faced with the prospect of a government shutdown amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Democrats ultimately opted to detach the debt limit suspension from the government funding bill.
The Senate voted 65-35 earlier Thursday afternoon to send the stopgap government funding bill back to the House without any provision to address the debt limit.
“This bill is not a permanent solution. I look forward to soon beginning negotiations with my counterparts across the aisle and across the Capitol to complete full-year government funding bills that reverse decades of disinvestment,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.).
According to The Hill, the legislation also includes $28.6 billion to provide localities with assistance to recover from recent natural disasters, including recent hurricanes and wildfires, as well as $6.3 billion for Afghan refugee resettlement efforts.
Who are the 34 RINOS? THIS SUCKS!!
How about coming up with a 25% REDUCTIUON in expenditures, and then it won’t be as difficult to TRY and FUND the continuing operations……..what exactly is it that our brilliant Politicians don’t understand?…IF you spend more than you take in, YOU DON”T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY!!!!!
Bingo
Now really was there never any doubt this would happen. If you think so, then I feel sorry for you.
Yes, they THINK they made it “great theatre”…..
when the conclusion was predetermined TO BE SURE.
I don’t pretend to Know a Correct, Right answer, but I DO KNOW that we should START with Term Limits for ALL Politicians. And the WHOLE Life Appointment Supreme Court BULLSHIT neeeeeds to be revamped as well.
The problem you’ll have with term limits stems from the fact that the bulk of our political class are lawyers. They can bury any measure we can muster to wrest them from power with so much Latin and Red Tape, the process will make your head spin. I absolutely agree our Congressional and White House occupants need to go, but you’ll find that they’ll have the upper hand against those efforts, with the media, courts, social pressure groups and even illegal aliens in their corner. I’m afraid the sole solution to remove these people from power is to exercise–fully–the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
Cowards. This crap has been going on for too many years. We have spineless Congress after spineless Congress passing “continuing resolutions” instead of their constitutionally mandated job to pass a budget – followed by president after president without the stones to veto it.
Republican weenies. They just do not understand, we are at war with people who want to destroy our country. Siding with the enemy when you are at war is treason
They’re not Republicans. RINOs is the phrase to describe them.
Let the Government shut down
Someone will have to show the old fool how to make an X
Our “representatives” had better get real and REDUCE govt spending! They make it happen and We The People pay for it.
The corrupt Democrats and RINOs are spending “other people’s money”.
They need to take a pay reduction and be put on Medicare and Social Security.
I do not agree with this!
Let the Government shut down, they will get paid regardless, stating they won’t is just the democrats lies. I know.
Also the names of the turncoats need to be posted so we know who we need to vote out.
If they agree to this little, what’s to say they won’t for the Anti-American debt ceiling raising infrastructure bill???
Shut this illegitimate government down!
They are not producing any thing of worth.
Stop their overpaid wages.
Stop the wastful spending and ballance the budget.
Another of my comments disappeared. You people don’t want truth here. He you just want names to turn in to the government. Bye!
Hmm. Censorship is a liberal standard procedure. Conservatives understand why our 1st Amendment was ratified, in order to free Americans to protest activity by our leaders which infringe upon our Rights. The 2nd Amendment was ratified as our means to remove those politicians who ignore those protests. You don’t think AAN is some liberal ruse to tweak our noses with such material, while they provoke Americans into foreign conflicts, do you?
How many Afghan refugee are there and have they been feted to make sure they are not terrorist, if you can even do that. But 6.3 billion. Why not give 6.3 billion to say me… just askin…f..kin idiots
He’ll have to move his female intern out of the way to sign it.
