No Government shutdown, funded through Dec 11th, typical as usual!

[S2007S]

Talk about procrastinating, last minute EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! NOTHING IS RESOLVED, JUST an extension to avoid a government shutdown tonight just to keep it going until December 11th, 2015. Hmmm wonder what happens December 11th? Maybe another extension until March or April of 2016....




The Senate on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved legislation that would avoid a government shutdown.

The continuing resolution, approved by 78-20, would keep the government funded until Dec. 11.

The House is scheduled to vote on the bill Wednesday afternoon. President Barack Obama must sign it before midnight to avoid a shutdown.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said Tuesday he would try to avoid another shutdown threat and that he is open to working the Democrats to do so.

"We have a system in government that you're going to have to compromise. I'm not going to get 100 percent of what I want," said McCarthy, who on Monday announced his candidacy to succeed John Boehner as House speaker.

KEY POINTS

• President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a bill to keep the government running into December after funding briefly lapsed.
• The president did not approve the bill before a midnight Thursday deadline to fund the government, and U.S. spending authority temporarily lapsed. But the Office of Management and Budget never ordered agencies to cease operations.
• The Senate and House already passed a bill to fund the government at current levels into December.

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a bill to keep the government running into December after funding briefly lapsed.

The Senate passed the temporary spending bill on Wednesday in an 84-10 vote as lawmakers scrambled to prevent a shutdown. The House approved the legislation last week.


The president did not approve the bill before a midnight Thursday deadline to fund the government, and U.S. spending authority temporarily lapsed. But the Office of Management and Budget never ordered agencies to cease operations.

Trump signed the measure into law early Thursday after returning from a campaign event in Minnesota.

The law will ensure the government does not go through a crippling shutdown during a pandemic and about a month before the 2020 election.

It keeps federal agencies running until Dec. 11. Before then, lawmakers aim to hash out spending legislation to keep the government running through Sept. 2021.

Democrats and Republicans reached a deal on a temporary funding bill last week after a disagreement over whether to include farm aid money. The sides eventually settled on a proposal that includes guardrails to prevent the agriculture funds from going to large oil companies, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.


She said the measure includes $8 billion for nutrition assistance for schoolchildren and families, and refreshes the Pandemic EBT food aid program for a full year.

Getting past the shutdown threat would theoretically give Congress more flexibility to break an ongoing dispute over how to structure a fifth coronavirus aid package before the election. Both Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Pelosi said Wednesday that they are “hopeful” about the prospects of a deal and will continue relief discussions.

Democratic leaders and the Trump administration have made little progress toward a stimulus deal since a series of formal talks broke apart last month. A fight over the Supreme Court vacancy will also likely take up much of the Senate’s time before the election.

Republicans aim to quickly confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett, Trump’s choice to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

It really sucks if you're in the federal government. Every time you have to put in a significant amount of preparation several weeks in advance and every time you have to treat it as if it's going to happen. You need to determine who critical civilian employees are and who isn't, contractors can't work at all, so if you have a contractor that's doing something crucial you have to figure out which civil service (or in my case uniformed) people you're going to temporarily reassign, all kinds of projects and programs get disrupted..... It's a massive cost, even when there is no lapse in appropriations. Ironic given that the shutdowns are often over "too much spending" that they squander so much money needlessly.
