By a 229-206 vote, the House of Representatives passed the long-awaited spending bill. President Trump was expected to sign it before you read this.<\/p>\n

The Senate approved the same package on Monday night after seven Democrats and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats broke with their party and joined Republicans in supporting the measure. The bill will keep the government open until at least Jan. 30 and extends funding for certain key programs, including food stamps and veterans benefits, through the end of September.<\/p>\n

A total of six Democrats voted in favor of the plan to reopen the government, compared to the 207 who voted against the bill. Just two Republicans, Thomas Massie and Greg Steube, voted in opposition.\u00a0\u00a0Yahoo News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As reported here earlier, the bill did not include an extension of Obamacare subsidies, although a vote on them was promised to Democrats in the near future. The essence of a compromise is when both sides are equally dissatisfied with the results – this one seems to fit that criterion.<\/p>\n

My prediction? The Republicans will oppose continuing the subsidies, and against Obamacare in general . The Democrats will demand the Republicans produce their great medical plan, which the President has been claiming to have. The Republicans will have nothing to say, the President will once again say there will be a great wonderful plan shortly that is already in development, the plan will never see the light of day and the GOP will still whine about Obamacare\u00a0 10 years from now. I would be happy to be proven wrong – but the safe money is on that.<\/p>\n

Hopefully between now and the end of January they can sort out a compromise. Think we all would love to see an actual budget instead of continuing resolutions, but realistically if they haven’t done one by now, we are probably looking at more dispute for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Term limits. Definitely need term limits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
