Will the Democrats learn this time that they can’t just ignore fiscal responsibility? Everything points to “hahaha no”
It’s almost official: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy doesn’t have enough support to pass his proposal for a temporary spending bill, making an imminent government shutdown likely. McCarthy plans to introduce a bill on Friday, September 29th, combining a stopgap funding measure, spending reductions, a comprehensive GOP border bill and maybe a little help to our latest favorite, Ukraine.
