On Friday, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about the ongoing budget negotiations in Congress. The House of Representatives has passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) which represents a ‘clean bill’ which generally continues things as they are rather than adding additional items. Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer of New York is demanding some major Democrat additions to the CR that represent Democrat priorities in order to pass the CR (which needs 60 votes in the Senate). If the CR does not pass, the government shuts down.<\/p>\n

The Daily Caller reports:<\/p>\n

House Speaker Mike Johnson rejected Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York\u2019s demand that Congress allocate $500 million for certain media outlets Friday, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re not doing that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The House of Representatives passed both a short-term funding measure<\/a> and a resolution<\/a> honoring assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Friday. Democrats have demanded that the stopgap funding measure add over $1 trillion in funding for various priorities, including reversing the rescission of funds for public broadcasting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cHe (Senator Schumer) also wants to make sure, he wants to reinstate health care to be provided free by American taxpayers for illegal aliens. We\u2019re not going to do that either,\u201d Johnson continued. \u201cHe also wants to add $500 million to prop up left-leaning media organizations. We\u2019re not doing that either.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has identified<\/a> $206 billion in savings since President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, despite drawing fire from Democrats over various cuts it identified, including the closure of the United States Agency for International Development.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A CR is not really the answer to America’s financial problem. We need to get back to the legal budget process. The Congressional Budget Process is supposed to involve individual budget requests for each area of the government. Those requests are to be passed individually. We have not correctly followed that procedure since 2008. It is time to get back to the way the law is written.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
