"Congress Unveils Short-Term Funding Bill To Avoid End-Of-Year Government Shutdown"
"1,547 pages..."
"Despite a House rule requiring 72 hours for lawmakers to read legislation, itโs expected that the CR could see a vote on the floor as early as Wednesday, defusing the threat of a government shutdown that would otherwise begin on Friday, Dec. 20."
Congress was supposed to enact 12 full-year appropriations bills by Sept. 30, which would fund the federal government for Fiscal Year 2025. However, as has happened every year since 1997, Congress failed to pass them in time and, therefore, enacted a continuing resolution (CR).
"With that deadline now fast approaching, Congress will need to move quickly to avoid a shutdown."
Well, Well...talk about being between A rock and a hard place....what will they do??? Wonder who might opt to just slink into the shadows? ๐
