About this sermon
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are facing a looming deadline to keep the government open. Money runs out on Friday and the possibility of another temporary funding bill is growing. Meanwhile, House Republicans still don't know who will become Speaker of the House come January. Republican Senator Rick Scott, who serves on the Budget Committee, blames Democrats for the impasse. Scott says, "Democrats made the decision not to pass a budget. So what we shouldn't be doing is passing a big Pelosi-Schumer spending bill without going through the budget process. What we ought to do is do a short term CR sometime into the next Congress and let the next Congress do their job." But Senator Bernie Sanders accuses Republicans of blocking progress on an agreement. He says, "What I worry about is Republican efforts to hold hostage next year if we don't get an omnibus bill passed, to hold hostage the government, to hold hostage Medicare and Medicaid." However, lawmakers say some progress was made over the weekend. Capitol Hill Correspondent, Erik Rosales reports. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
