I mean, the House is not the Senate as
we know, uh the dynamics there are much different
. How much confidence do we have right now that
this will make it through the house and to the
president's desk, it seems the confidence is high that
this continuing resolution. Another stop gap two step measure
that will continue to fund the government through March 1st
and March 8th respectively, depending on what program you're
talking about will pass the house under a suspension of
the rules, which means it's going to require a
two thirds majority. That means Democrats are going to
be needed to carry this over the finish line as
there are likely many house conservative members who will not
be voting for this package, either package either because
they are opposed to another continuing resolution or because border
security measures aren't attached to it just earlier today.
Some members of the House Freedom Caucus were attempting to
push House Speaker Mike Johnson to include border measures in
this continuing resolution. He is not doing that.
It is going forward as the Senate has set it
out again, the Senate has passed this. The
house is expected to take it up this afternoon so
everyone can get out of town here in Washington before
a snowstorm come Friday. One thing I would point
out this does kick the can down the road for
a third time and what we get to March,
if the appropriations process is not figured out at that
time, we will be halfway through the fiscal year
that this budget is supposed to be addressing. It
will be right around the time that this funding expires
that President Biden is set to deliver to Congress his
budget proposal for the next fiscal year. That is
just how broken this appropriations process has become. And
we'll see if this is enough time for them to
actually sort out the 12 bills needed to pass both
the House and the Senate to fund the government remain --> .
