House passes bill to avoid a shutdown, sending it to the Senate hours before the deadline

Source: NBC

WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House on Friday evening passed a short-term bill to avert a government shutdown, just hours ahead of a deadline that would force U.S. troops, border patrol agents, air traffic controllers and millions of other federal workers to work without pay during the holidays.

The vote was 366-34, capping a tumultuous week in the House that foreshadowed how the new Congress in January might deal with a mercurial Donald Trump back in the White House. A two-thirds vote was needed because the bill came to the floor under a fast-track process.

The legislation now heads to the Senate which must pass it before 12:01 a.m. to avert a shutdown.

The package funds the government at current levels through March 14, and includes disaster aid and a farm bill — while stripping out a debt limit extension demanded by Trump earlier in the week.

My understanding it was the exact same bill with the same heartless cuts as the 1st one but they dropped the part about raising the debt ceiling. The Dems still agreed to cut 2.5 trillion in spending cuts in the next 10 years. I wonder where those are going to come from??

My son died in 2002 from Ewing’s sarcoma. It is diagnosed infrequently enough that not a lot of research is done on it. Money goes, as I guess it should, to diseases that affect more people. Research dollars are spent more effectively when results benefit more patients. But, as a parent who never gets to close the door on grief, any research on any childhood cancer is worth my tax dollars every day of the week. These billionaires can pound sand.

Originally, $190 million was cut from House Bill. Senate passed $12 mill / yr for 5 years. That's $60 mill.

WHAT THE FUCK HAVE THEY DONE WITH *****OUR***** TAX MONEY???

They also did not include breast & cervical cancer funding, along with a bunch of other stuff.

I know the Dems did the best they could, but this is NOT great news. You'd think so, though, by the hoopla the media circus kicked up, right?

Is the remainder of the $190 million thugs originally cut from House Bill?

There is a LOT the media is NOT saying and therein lies the important facts. For example, funding for cervical and breast cancer were CUT, as was money for SNAP recipients, etc., etc., etc.

To listen to the right wing media talk, we should be jumping for joy. Ask the children's cancer researchers. I assure you, they are NOT jumping for joy over all the media false hoopla.

All that said, I know full well and very much appreciate the Dems did all they could with the steming pile of magat dung they had to work with.

Please listen for what the media DOES NOT SAY...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriella_Miller_Kids_First_Research_Act

The bill would authorize $12.6 million out of the 10-Year Pediatric Research Initiative Fund for each of FY2014-FY2023 for pediatric research through the Common Fund. Requires such funds to supplement, not supplant, funds otherwise allocated by NIH for pediatric research. Prohibits the use of such amounts for any purpose other than allocating funds for making grants for pediatric research described in this Act.[6]

The Senate bill passed last night was for only 5 years, hence, a bit over $60 mill.

You're using the original bill, which was 10 years, and which died in committee. The CR had the bill Take 2, which was 5 years. That was dropped for the Elon failed bill, then dropped from the ultimately passed CR, then passed separately.

So, yes, $60 million is gone from the ORIGINAL bill, but the original bill wasn't in the CR pre- or post- Elon.
