 House passes short-term funding bill to avert shutdown
by Mychael Schnell and Aris Folley - 02/29/24 2:08 PM ET

The House on Thursday approved a short-term funding bill to avert a partial government shutdown this weekend, sending the legislation to the Senate one day before Friday’s funding deadline.

The legislation — which cleared the chamber in a 320-99 vote — kicks the two government funding deadlines to March 8 and March 22, buying lawmakers more time to hash out their differences on spending bills and push them over the finish line.

Trouble could be ahead, however.

While lawmakers say they have a deal on the six appropriations bills due next week, disagreements remain on the other half-dozen measures, which include more controversial pieces of legislation funding agencies like the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security.

“Clearly the second group of bills could be difficult and problematic, especially as Republicans in the House continue to insist on policy riders that erode women’s reproductive freedom,” Rep. Pete Aguilar (Calif.), chairman of the Democratic Caucus, said shortly before the vote.

Kicking the can down the road once again and the Republicans get nothing and Americans continue to lose!
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.

Jees.  Stop the insanity of the waterfall of crisis.  This plays right into Dem hands.
 
Declare defeat on the FY 2024 continuing resolution pretending to be a budget.  Start working on the FY 2025 Budget, which is due by October 1, 2024.  Similar to Dunkirk, evacuate the beaches, save your soldiers for future battles, and start strategizing to go on offense.  Continuing the fight for what's left of the FY2024 Budget will keep GOP House on defense.

A Fishrrman "betcha I got it right" prediction:

None of the currently-posting members of this forum will live to see an actual "budget" passed by Congress again.

(I wouldn't mind being proven wrong, but again... betcha I'm right)

For it to be a real Budget, it needs to be signed by the President before the start (October 1st) of the Budget's Fiscal Year.  Passing a Budget before the start of the Fiscal Year is Congress' day job.  The investigations to nowhere and the impeachments about nothing are side hustles.
