So the government agrees to keep paying themselves to not do the jobs we elected them to do.

[infinitejest]

They pull this every time. It’s just a distraction from the real problems we face.

[karenwinston]

The fiscal year will be almost half over by March. This is ridiculous. They should have passed a federal budget before October 1, 2023.

[joewoodchuck]

Short term budgets appear to be the long term trend.

[schrutefarmbeets]

The debt has increased 2 trillion in 6 months. We only have 12 months and 4 trillion more to look forward too.

[WinstonSmith]

The one thing both parties can agree upon spend more money that we don’t have.

[billyevans]

At least there's no government shutdown. Good job for working on both sides

[Indian_Kamala]

Has anyone considered spending less so this doesn't happen every month

[snapfinger]

Congress has an unlimited supply of band aids to stay afloat a few weeks at a time. What a grind.

United States can't even pay their bills on a monthly basis..The country is really falling

[stevenstreets]

If jim jordan isnt going to do some real work for ALL Ohio he needs to resign and refund the salary hes currently stealing.

[timdyer]

Ah yes, Congress. The need a long vacation. Maybe a cruise to The Bermuda Triangle during naval

[tonysid]

If Hunter and Sharpton would just pay their fair share ...😂

[ThornQueenJunko]

By the time these spending bills are passed, it'll be a week break before the next ones hit their deadline lol 😂😅

Federal Gov't. aka - DC Swamp Borg Collective.

[doomersnek]

Government is about as efficient as a snail can fly.

[memyselfeyetallent]

Msnbc, fox, cbs, NBC, especially CNN need to go away.

[josephsonora]

Al, you need to get hip bro. Johnson's job is to make joe biden's presidency a Lame Duck one!

[xgdslicktydom]

So the Race Baiter of all Race Baiters is an MSNBC host noice.

[RetroGamerBB]

All this because republicans separated spending and paying for it. The "just put it on the credit card republicans"
