“Republican lawmakers… are slowly rallying around the plan for another continuing resolution, which would punt on all major spending decisions until next year. While a stopgap ‘might seem like an acceptable outcome, I fundamentally disagree,’ Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., said in a statement Monday. Relying on a stopgap, he said, leaves Congress unable to respond to pressing needs.” - CQ, 11/29/2016 |
