About this sermon
It is almost inevitable now that the government will shut down in 4 days, and Congress is not working together to stop it. House and Senate lawmakers can't agree on what should be in a stop gap spending bill or how long it should last. The Senate unveiled a bipartisan continuing resolution to keep the government open until November 17th, but a group of House Republicans say they are not on board because it does not contain any money to protect the border and spending levels are still too high. Senate leaders say there are no good outcomes from shutdowns. Senator Chuck Schumer says, "Pass this bridge CR and move forward, freed from the hard-right extremists who are hell-bent on destroying trust in government and hurting millions of middle class families." Senator Mitch McConnell says, "The clearest path forward is a standard, short-term continuing resolution. Our work this week needs to produce the resources and flexibility to maintain essential government functions." The Senate's CR does provide $6 billion for disaster relief and another $6 billion in Ukraine aid. However, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says it is wrong to fund Ukraine and leave out border security.
