Congress misses its deadline to fund the government again
Fox News
Despite the sturm and drang about “funding the government before the deadline,” Congress punted, again, approving yet another interim spending bill.
The government didn’t shut down in the wee hours of Christmas Eve morning – even though Congress managed to approve the bill before the 11:59:59 pm et deadline on the 23rd. Lawmakers dithered for weeks – dragging out the final vote on the omnibus spending bill until nearly the last moment. Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). He joined the network in September 2007 and is based out of Washington, D.C.
The Senate okayed the final version on Thursday afternoon. The House, on Friday afternoon.
So what gives?
