House Republicans drop SAVE Act in favor of clean stopgap spending bill in race against shutdown
Story by Cami Mondeaux, Washington Examiner 

House Republicans are moving forward with plans to vote on a clean stopgap spending bill that will extend government funding until mid-December, dropping a proof-of-citizenship voting measure backed by former President Donald Trump from their latest proposal.

The continuing resolution, released on Sunday, would continue current spending levels until Dec. 20, buying lawmakers time to continue negotiations for the federal budget for the 2025 fiscal year. The proposal comes after the House failed to pass its initial government funding proposal last week that would have extended current spending levels until the end of March 2025 and included a voting integrity measure known as the SAVE Act that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) sought to attach as a policy win for Republicans.
That spending package was shot down after it failed to garner enough support from GOP lawmakers who vowed never to support a temporary government funding bill.

There will be no budget, keeping the decades old tradition of screwing Americans by not passing one.

Yep.  Another year of giving the Democrats everything they ask for, and more.

The time has come for a mandatory balanced budget amendment.  Every Republican running for national office should be required to sign on or not receive a dime in support.

WE CANNOT CONTINUE THIS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE PERPETRATED UPON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ANY LONGER!

Budget? This is Congress,not some single mom at the kitchen table.
Spending will continue at a rate that would make a drunken sailor blush.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The deficit is at crisis proportions but I'm not sure that 4 weeks before a Presidential election is the time to have a shutdown.
