GOV Shutdown or not?

[Warrenlm]

If Obama closes the outdoor, no fences, totally open World War II Memorial again just to make a show, it's too cold anyway.

runs out of money? Is this a debt ceiling fight, or a budget authorization fight?

It is neither a debt ceiling, nor an authorization issue.

It's an appropriation bill.

So technically, the U.S. Government is about to cease (at midnight tonight) appropriations to spend any money.

I'm going to use one of my many cat lives to make a prediction. No we don't shut down.

You heard it here first.

You're welcome.

Government is about to cease to spend any money.

James post in thread under Government Employees, entitled "Budget" that addressed House's continuing resolution:
"It is named H.R. 2028, and will be a Continuing Resolution valid until April 28, 2017.

They Government could be more cost effective if they went away from 1 year appropriations, these partial CRs just create a lot of extra work.

James posted the proposed bill. It was just passed less than an hour before midnight.

Agree on the yearly. However, I am glad that Trump will have some say in the rest of the rear.

True, but it appears that there really weren't any changes and source document is the House Resolution.

That may be so but that wasn't the purpose of my post. Earlier I predicted that the government would not shut down and the article that I posted was confirming that the government wasn't shutting down.

Well, here we are again.

This morning, after midnight, the Senate passed the tax bill, 51-48.

This morning the House is RE-VOTING on the bill AGAIN.

The changes made in the Senate before of changes made.

But NOBODY has yet filed a bill to continue the function of government after the lat CR runs out on Friday.

I am hearing there are AGAIN some real problems agreeing on what to include. I understand we are also having an issue with the debt ceiling right now.- will that also be included?


What do YOU think- are we going to get another extension by Friday?

 

[nasa1974]

Your guess is as good as mine.

Flip a coin and you have a 50/50 chance of being right.

 

[nnuut]

Shut/down is an oxymoron.

 

[wvango]

These things used to scare me, but I am kind of hoping that we do shut down. I am a government employee and they end up back paying us for the time anyway. So a vacation would be nice. Dilly Dilly!!!

Edit: But I do not think they will shut down!

 

[James48843]

hey Tom- can you make that the next poll?

Will there be a government shutdown at the end of this week?

Thanks

 

[nnuut]

I used to love the Shutdowns, time off and don't have to use an hour of AL!! Save it before you retire and cash it in, I DID and had the MAX>

 

[RazorCat]

No government shutdown this week.
They don’t want the market to tank and lose the money they have invested on those insider tips they’re not supposed to be getting anymore. :27::27::27:
