Averting a government shutdown
CQ Budget, Episode 128
The House passed a continuing resolution last week to extend current funding through Nov. 21, giving Congress an extra eight weeks to get its work done. The Senate is scheduled to vote on a measure later this week. But there’s more in this resolution than just a simple funding extension.
Show Notes:
- House passes temporary funding bill; Senate vote next week
- House stopgap bill would fund farm payments, health programs
- Draft stopgap would protect Ukraine aid, deny wall flexibility
