House to consider another short-term spending bill
By Melanie Zanona - 01/11/18 01:56 PM EST

The House will consider another stopgap spending bill next week in order to avoid a government shutdown, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced Thursday.

That would be the fourth temporary spending patch, or continuing resolution (CR), to come up for a vote since September. Current government funding runs out Jan. 19 at midnight.

“We’ve been in discussions to try to get a budget agreement. I hope that we can have that done this time. If we’re able to get that budget agreement, we’ll need some time for the appropriators to do their work,” McCarthy said while announcing the House floor schedule.

Ridiculous.  Shut it down!
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
