At the end ofthe day, does the extension of a final decision on the 2024 spending bill also extend the financing of each department and the need for funding discretionary and entitlement program bills? At this point, the answer to that question remains moot.
Today, the spending bill that was passed in Congress will be forwarded to the desk if President Joe Biden. At this time, it is not certain that the bill will be approvals by Biden while it seems that Republicans are attempting to play both ends ahmgsinst tge middle-- prolonging a decision on Biden's full spending measure while Johnson engages in taking an inch-by-inch approach to gaining the Predident's and Democrat's approval on, basically, nothing.
That remains to be determined by how Johnson turns--in favor of or against Biden's proposed bill.
In the last weeks of discussions, House Speaker Johnson sought after a proposed bill that would include measures taken to dissolve the border crisis and Republican specifications in that regard in exchange for Biden's request for additional military funding being made to Israel and Ukraine.
Today, it is the two matters at issue that remains the prospects of the federal government 's. Current slow downs in the final spending budget-- an ultimate decision that must be agreed to or negotiated by Congress that, however, cannot be abandoned by the House.
