A spending bill to keep government agencies open appears poised to clear Congress this week, though the final iteration of the measure remains unclear.
Lawmakers in the House debated the continuing resolution, which would fund agencies and avoid a government shutdown until Dec. 11, at length on Tuesday, with members of both parties agreeing the stopgap measure was poor practice but unfortunately necessary.
The measure avoids more controversial provisions, such as addressing the U.S. Postal Service’s plan to close 82 facilities nationwide in 2015. A majority of senators and 160 House representatives wrote to their respective appropriations committees asking that any spending bill delay closures for one year.
So-o-o-o- What’s new about this ?
Republicans? How about both sides taking responsibility for doing “nothing”?
So there you have it people, the Republicans costing jobs and service.
People, people, you must understand one thing about congress:
Once a stroker, always a stroker! Congress needs to consolidate and down size. Too many doing too little.
Closures to save money for bonus.
Well now, makes want to sing. How about you Mr Postman?
