Gradually going from a figurative shutdown to a literal one.

Question: Didn't we during the Obama years basically have a "kick-the-can-down-the-road" bill to fund the government in the interim until a budget (or debt ceiling raising or whatever) can be agreed upon? Why can't that be done now?
And there it is...
Those have been there the whole time.

Senate passed one by unanimous consent. House under Ryan never brought it to the floor because Trump threw a hissy fit.

The Senate voted one down yesterday

Today the Senate and House will finally pass one.

The answer to your original question is (unsurprisingly): Trump.

NPR was just saying that as well. Should make Trip happy, a whole wave of Baby Boomers retiring and finally letting Trip's friends come out of the basements to get jobs. Think you can supervise all those millennials coming your way?

I'm hoping that the Democrats force a civilian raise into the legislation equal to the military, overriding Trump's freeze. We deserve it. :nod:

Good thing we didn't wager money on this or it would be one of those gambling conspiracies. Trump has to sign it to become official, so that could be after this Saturday, pushing it into the column of those who voted 5 weeks.

I hope he waits until Monday to sign. I could use it to do all the shit I was supposed to do before the shutdown.
