I’m aware that the GOP keeps kicking the can down the road with week to week continuing resolutions.
But, when he first came in, he made a big speech about how the House needed to pass 12(?) separate appropriations bills, not a single omnibus one. As we approach the halfway mark of this fiscal year, have any such appropriations bills passed? The House is so rarely in session that it seems like they haven’t? |
| They haven't passed anything since Johnson became speaker. |

| I believe they have an agreements for 2 CRs, one for March 8 and another for March 22 and they have an agreement on 6 of the 12 bills. But nothing is done until it passes. |
Based on what's posted above, this in correct, is it? |
Yes, let’s celebrate passing CRs, which are NOT actual appropriations bills. Let’s celebrate failure! Johnson is in WAY over his head. |
I think they have passed a few but none of those have passed in the Senate. |
| A "passed" Appropriations Bill doesn't matter until it actually clears the House, Senate and President's desk. |
Why yes, let's celebrate failure. https://www.usdebtclock.org |

Op here. So Johnson hasn’t gotten anything related to appropriations passed.
I’d agree that just getting something passed in the House that doesn’t make it through the Senate and the White House doesn’t fulfill the House’s constitutional obligation. Good they’re spending all their energy on faux impeachments. |
And getting spiked into the dirt by revelations those inquiries are inspired by nothing more than Russian propaganda. Their goal is not to govern. Their goal is chaos. |
A government shutdown costs at least $6 billion and there is nothing to show for it, so you must be really upset at the prospects of wasting $6B for nothing. |
You you're in favor of more of the same, right? YOU would never expect democrats to say to themselves, let's cool it on spending, would you? Just more, more, more until the whole thing collapses. |
Not to mention it damaged the bond rating of the US government meaning that debt interest costs more. It's just astounding that idiot Republicans continue these antics while complaining about debt even though they are adding what should have been totally avoidable, and what was completely unnecessary added interest and debt. |
