The Daily Quote

“Congress returns Tuesday after a seven-week summer break with one major task to accomplish: Don’t shut down the government. Lawmakers have four weeks to hammer out a spending deal before the fiscal year ends Sept. 30, but some are already warning the task will not be easy.  The tension surrounds how long a stopgap funding bill keeping the government open, known as a continuing resolution (CR), should last… Conservatives want to pass a six-month CR that would kick the larger budget fight into next year with a new president and Congress in place… But Democrats and some moderate Republicans want to finish the annual budget work later this year after the election.  Both sides are digging in for a fight.”
