Los Angeles Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield may not know a lot about how to avert a government shutdown; but Mayfield knows this: you play until the end of the game.
is this Friday at 11:59:59 pm et. And Congress will not only play out the clock – but also extend the game.
The Pentagon abhors this approach. The military consumes about 55 percent of all dollars Congress appropriates annually. So, the longer the CR, the worse it is for the military. The Pentagon gets hit the hardest with Band-Aid bills because it scores the largest chunk of Congressional dollars. Democrats and President Biden obviously prefer a longer term omnibus. An omnibus allows Democrats to leave their mark on federal spending through the fall – not ceding any ground to the GOP.they want a short-term bill, they really don’t. McCarthy is struggling to command the votes to become Speaker. And with a prospective 222-212 Republican majority next year , Republicans can only lose four votes on their side and still pass a bill.
Congress may also prepare a provision in the omnibus bill to avert"sequestration." That’s a budget control device which requires automatic spending cuts every year. Sequestration is a leftover from the debt ceiling agreement of 2011.But Congress usually switches off sequestration – attaching language to a big spending bill like this one.
