Democrats balk at U.S. spending bill, raising shutdown risk

(Reuters) - Congressional Democrats objected on Wednesday to controversial financial and political campaign provisions tucked into a $1.1 trillion U.S. spending bill, keeping the risk of a government shutdown alive.

The complaints from House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats clouded the chances for passage of the funding bill as a midnight Thursday deadline drew near.

Republicans were preparing a one-or-two day extension to keep federal agencies open past the deadline, but were unwilling to make any concessions on dozens of provisions added to the bill.

Nope................if the government shuts down, it's gonna be because of those that shut it down the last time.

The GOP.

And......................I've got faith that they're going to do a crappy job and shut it down again because they hate the fact that there is a black man in the White House.

How pissed are they going to be when there is a woman there?

Nope- The Democrats will shut it down by not passing the bipartisan bill. The democrats want to shut it down. I have no problem with that. We need to cut to the chase.

“The bill will allow us to fulfill our constitutional duty to responsibly fund the federal government and avoid a shutdown,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.). In her blunter style, his Senate counterpart, Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), appealed to Democrats to support the measure.

“In today’s era of slam-down politics, we were able to set aside our differences,” she said. “Working across the aisle and across the dome, we created compromise without capitulation.”

Actually not bad at all, apples and oranges and quite frankly, she could probably do a better job from the get go.

Good how much will be shut down this time 15% 16%> Checks will still go out Congress and the president will still get paid.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Let's see; It was bad when the Republican League shut it down but it's ok if the Democrat League does it. Got it!

And according to certain partisan Pennant waivers, you can just SAY it's the other team's fault for the shutdown.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Hmmmmmm. Is the OP one of the nutters who knows what is happening with this bill and is just being a snarky tool? Or.....is he really stupid like BigDerp and thinks that the GOP is acting in good faith?

Hmmmmmmm?

Yep...............Congress will get paid, so will those in the Senate and those who are part of the Obama cabinet, as well as the President.

Quick question.................who is going to pay those who serve the government when it is shut down?

Does the military get to take a break when we have to fight terrorists?

The military never missed a paycheck. In fact, most government workers in critical areas continued to receive paychecks.

The only people that will be effected are nonessential personal. You'll find the fat of the government in a shut down.

If it's stops obama I say shut it down.

It looks like we have a couple of nutters here who are rooting for a shutdown at the same time they are whining about the Democrats causing a shutdown.

It's typical nutter logic.

The democrats want to shut it down for the same reason the pubs did.

The reason

Doesn't matter what that reason is either. The Dems disagree, just like the GOP did last time, and will force the shut down in efforts to obtain their objectives

I'm good with that

The Department of Treasury is seeking to order survival kits for all of its employees who oversee the federal banking system, according to a new solicitation.


The emergency supplies would be for every employee at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which conducts on-site reviews of banks throughout the country. The survival kit includes everything from water purification tablets to solar blankets.


The government is willing to spend up to $200,000 on the kits, according to the solicitation released on Dec. 4.



The survival kits must come in a fanny-pack or backpack that can fit all of the items, including a 33-piece personal first aid kit with “decongestant tablets,” a variety of bandages, and medicines.






The kits must also include a “reusable solar blanket” 52 by 84 inches long, a 2,400-calorie food bar, “50 water purification tablets,” a “dust mask,” “one-size fits all poncho with hood,” a rechargeable lantern with built-in radio, and an “Air-Aid emergency mask” for protection against airborne viruses.

Survival kits will be delivered to every major bank in the United States including Bank of America, American Express Bank, BMO Financial Corp., Capitol One Financial Corporation, Citigroup, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Company, and Wells Fargo.


The agency has roughly 3,814 employees, each of which would receive a survival kit. The staff includes “bank examiners” who provide “sustained supervision” of major banks in the United States.


It is not clear why the Treasury Department is ordering the kits.

One can only imagine what the Treasury department is thinking will happen in the near-future... while it is indeed good to be prepared, the timing as domestic social unrest ramps up, the driver of the recovery is crashing, and the Fed has stepped away is 'odd' to say the least.

Why Is The US Treasury Quietly Ordering Surival Kits For US Bankers Zero Hedge

The above is another distraction deployed by the Imperial White House. As long as Obama can keep America racially divided, he mitigates the risk of America joining together.

Can you imagine what it would look like if the OWS, Bundy supporters, Mizzou rioters, KKK and the panthers united and 'protested' government overreach?

We need a president shut down, not a government shut down.

But when only maybe 10% of the government gets shut down, I don't really care. Shut it down and keep it shut down.

Hope they do.
Not because what is good for the goose and all, but largely because GOPers refuse to live up to their rhetoric when they hold power.
