The Daily Quote
“The budget fight shaping up in Congress looks increasingly likely to simmer until a face-off at the end of the year forces a fiscal reckoning—or a fiscal wreck. The GOP-controlled Congress must take action by October to avoid a shutdown when funding expires. But with Democrats and Republicans at an impasse over spending levels, lawmakers have suggested they may end up passing a three-month patch to keep the government running through year-end. That would set up another December scramble on top of the usual renewals of expiring tax breaks and confirming of nominees. ‘We never do anything early,’ said Rep. Tom Rooney (R., Fla.) of the House Appropriations Committee. ‘It’s always wait until the last second.’… ‘I would be very pleased if we could get all the appropriations bills passed by Oct. 1,’ said Sen. Richard Shelby (R., Ala.), a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, before adding, ‘but I doubt it seriously.’ Failure to take any action by Oct. 1 would result in a repeat of the partial government shutdown of October 2013. When Republicans won control of the Senate last year, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), now majority leader, pledged that Congress would steer clear of government shutdowns or debt defaults.” - Wall Street Journal, 7/12/2015
