Latest Congressional Can-Kick Delays Debt Ceiling Doom Until March<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

You’ll never guess what happened…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s right, folks! Our wise and benevolent lawmakers have once again averted debt ceiling disaster – after lawmakers in the House and Senate reached a bipartisan spending deal<\/strong> that will extend two major deadlines and keep the government operating … for six more weeks!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until we get to do this all over again.<\/p>\n

According to NBC News<\/em><\/a> (so who knows), “The deal would keep the government funded until March, buying legislators more time to craft longer-term, agency-specific spending bills, following the agreement last weekend to set the overall spending level for fiscal year 2024 at $1.59 trillion.”<\/p>\n

The new agreement moves upcoming government funding deadlines for different departments from Jan. 19 and Feb. 2 to March 1 and March 8.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The short-term bill, known as a continuing resolution or \u201cCR,\u201d will need to pass both the House and Senate before Friday at 11:59 p.m<\/strong>. to avoid a partial government shutdown.<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaker Mike Johnson is set to hold a call with fellow House Republicans at 8 p.m. Sunday to discuss spending negotiations. <\/strong>Several hard-right Republicans have objected to the top<\/a>–<\/a>line spending<\/a> deal he previously cut with Senate Democrats and have urged Johnson to go back on it, though he said Friday that the agreement remains intact. -NBC News<\/em><\/p>\n

“The bipartisan topline appropriations agreement clears the way for Congress to act over the next few weeks in order to maintain important funding priorities for the American people and avoid a government shutdown,” said Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries – the top Democrats in both chambers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
