House & Senate Remain Billions Apart on Funding Bill | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Congress returns this week with a government shutdown threat behind them. Now the real money fight is taking center stage. The House and Senate remain billions of dollars apart on a bill that would fund all government departments through next September. House Republicans can't even agree on how much to spend. When House Republicans left Capitol Hill for Thanksgiving, they were still fighting over final budget numbers and foreign aid. The big question is whether speaker Mike Johnson can put together a plan to get this done in the next month. Congressman Matt Gaetz says he's confident Speaker Johnson can do it. Some House Freedom Caucus members say Speaker Johnson caved to "business as usual" with spending on the latest continuing resolution and they're demanding action. A number of House Republicans have blocked funding bills and none are scheduled for votes this week. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries say it's time for the GOP to start passing their own bills.
