(CNN)The House of Representatives will vote Wednesday on a short-term funding bill to avert a government shutdown at the end of the week, buying more time for negotiations over sweeping legislation to keep the government funded along with additional pandemic relief.
The stopgap bill, known as a continuing resolution, will extend the shutdown deadline from Friday, when funding is currently set to expire, to December 18. It is expected to easily pass the House and then be taken up by the Senate.
Lawmakers working to negotiate a massive government spending bill for the new fiscal year, known as an omnibus, have so far failed to cinch a deal, creating a need for the one-week patch. Disagreements over immigration provisions and abortion language, as well as other items, still remain in the omnibus talks.
The hope among negotiators is that the additional time will be enough to not only strike a sweeping funding deal but also to reach agreement on a new round of Covid relief before key pandemic aid programs expire at the end of the year and Congress leaves Washington for the holiday recess.
Et, un commentaire tout a fait pertinent:
Et, une petite pub, un petit geste… pour faire connaitre a vos proches vos sentiments d’amour, de compassion…
Quand les defenseurs de M. Trump s’agenouillebt devant les dures realites, les importantes necessites de la vie on ne peut qu’ajouter “Il etait temps!”. Voici le commentaire et l’article dont il est question.
Je n’apprenderai rien a personne si je dit que la droite fait souvent preuve de populisme surtout quand ceux qu’elle defend se font battre aux elections comme ce fut le cas durant les elections americaines. Elle a peut-etre peur de perdre quelques-uns de leurs clients? Mais bon…Et, c’est quand meme incroyable que dans cette epoque si difficile, les politiciens s’amusent… a faire perdre la population. On ne peut vraiement pas faire confiance a la droite. Il faut prendre le temps de respirer unpeu avec une petite pause musicale:
Sur l’Urgence du financement!
