New (fiscal) year less than 4 weeks away

[my2¢]

I've yet to pay attention to the 2024 elections. Perhaps that'll change after the conclusion of this month's main bout over the country's 2024 fiscal year 2024 budget that starts October 1st. I'm rooting for the conservative hard-liners.

Democrats have been ramping up criticism of House Republicans as the conference pursues
more aggressive spending cuts for fiscal 2024 — well below spending rates agreed upon in a
