President Biden Thursday night signed into effect a stand-alone continuing resolution passed by Congress to avert a government shutdown before current funding was set to expire at midnight.
The House of Representatives passed the measure by a vote of 254-175, after it was moved along in the Senate 65-35 earlier in the day.
The stopgap bill includes language to keep the government funded through Dec. 3 in addition to disaster relief funding and funding to aid with the resettlement of Afghan refugees.
Its passage comes after Senate Republicans blocked a House-passed short-term spending bill that included language to raise the debt ceiling, saying they will not support increasing the federal government’s borrowing limit as Democrats look to pass a sweeping, multitrillion-dollar social spending bill.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) praised the bill, saying he believes it’s critical to keep the government open, but took a swing at his GOP colleagues for their pushback on supporting raising the federal government’s borrowing limit.
So, we will write some more bad checks and let the politicians play some more games for TV (and the fat money we pay them for that).
It would be best if we marched them all outside and hung them from the lamp posts.
If YOU (as in “We, the People”) ran our finances the way these slimy, self-important, alcoholic, Nazi wanna-be pedophiles did, THEY would put YOU in prison. Not jail. PRISON. For a long time.
THEY spend money we don’t have on things that we don’t need and prance around like they are trying to save the country.
THEY are destroying the country.
We should be destroying THEM.
One by one, march them out to the street and start the hanging.
It’s going to take a while to do them all, so pack a lunch.
Write a check for it.
I am with you brother. It is gonna be a bloodbath when it starts. The tree of liberty is drying up quickly.
Stop Democrats > they Are the GAP !!!!
