I think it's time to educate the class on what a Continuing Resolution is, and isn't.

It is simply an appropriation of funds for programs that have already been negotiated, voted on, passed, and signed into law.

This is not a place to try to start new spending or programs. In fact, new spending is PROHIBITED in a CR.


Summary

The program activities of most federal agencies are generally funded on an annual basis through the enactment of regular appropriations acts. When those annual appropriations acts are not enacted by the beginning of the fiscal year (October 1), one or more continuing appropriations acts (commonly known as continuing resolutions or CRs) may be enacted to provide temporary funding to continue certain programs and activities until action on the regular appropriations acts is completed.

There are six main features of CRs.

First, CRs have provided funding for certain activities (coverage), which are typically specified with reference to the prior fiscal year's appropriations acts.

Second, CRs provide budget authority for a specified duration of time. This duration may be as short as a single day or as long as the remainder of the fiscal year.

Third, in recent practice, CRs have typically provided funds based on an overall funding rate rather than in specified amounts.

Fourth, the use of budget authority provided in the CR has been prohibited for new activities not funded in the previous fiscal year.

Fifth, the duration and amount of funds in the CR, and purposes for which they may be used for specified activities, may be adjusted through anomalies.

Sixth, legislative provisions—which create, amend, or extend other laws—have been included in some instances.

What ive been saying too. Just pass the dman CR, get things going again, and work on the final bill. We know there will be disagreements but the time to hash that out is not with the government shut down. Dems are telling us they wont accept any bill that doesnt have funding for Healthcare for illegals.

I don't think I'm down with the extension of the Obamacare subsidies either. Even the Dem legislation that created them said they are only temporary until the COVID crisis is over. It's over.

You mean to tell us the Democrats are full of shit?

That appears to be the case. Notice how this thread is like Kryptonite to those who have been bleating about this being a Trump shutdown.

In a way I’m glad democrats refused to do a CR. Just lets the national debt just keep on going like the energizer bunny.

 

[Shamrock17]

Says it all! The Democrats are holding the country hostage to advance a phony narrative while attempting political gain. The despicable Democrats..............

The problem with democrats is, they are an example of give an inch, take a mile. Lets say, for example, if we said "ok, let's keep the subsidies", they would look at that and say "let's see what else we can push". If dems had their way, we would be an authoritarian state where the government would be a central provider for everything. We'd just send our paychecks to them and they would dole out a stipend each month for us to live on. The government itself would be a dictator.

The Demafascist leadership knows their base is too stupid to know these basic things.

They act exactly like spoiled children who believe that if they throw a big enough tantrum, they can get what they want. Their constituency has exactly the same strategy. They are both(Democratic politicians and Democrats) long overdue for a correction.

It's hilarious that the Murder Cult minions are still trying to claim Schumer isn't responsible for this shutdown.

 

[Nostra]

 

[Nostra]

Hey Dims, if several Dimwingers in Congress are saying they are using the shutdown as "leverage", tell us how they aren't the ones who shut down the government.

Their leverage statements prove they are the ones responsible for the shutdown.

Prove me wrong.

Well dayum.

I guess those poor Demotwats might have to lower themselves, now, to having to actually do their jobs (which includes passing a ******* budget).
