House & Senate to Hold Votes on 3 Month Government Funding Bill | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The government will not shutdown, it's the only thing both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill agree on. The House passed the 3 month funding bill to keep the government up and running until December 20th. It now moves onto the Senate, which expects to pass it later tonight. After Wednesday night's votes, Congress is closing up shop until after the elections and all they are doing is kicking the can down the road. Both sides are already gearing up for another fight just after Christmas. Representative Mike Johnson says, "There won't be a Christmas omnibus. Somebody asked me in the hallway if there were going to be any minibuses. We don't want to do any buses, there won't be any buses. We'll deal with that in the lame duck." For now, the current continuing resolution will fund the government for 3 months, provides $231 million to the Secret Service, but does not include any additional funds for FEMA to deal with future emergencies.
