US Congress passes third stopgap bill to avoid government shutdown, awaits Biden's nod

India TV News  

The United States Congress on Thursday passed a short-term spending bill, the third in this fiscal year, to avert a government shutdown on Saturday as funding runs out. The bill, which represents the third stopgap spending measure of this fiscal year, will extend government funding at current levels until March 1 for some government agencies and until March 8 for others. However, not all shared that view, as hard-right members of the House expressed outrage over Schumer and Johnson’s framework for a full-year budget bill, which would set a top-line of government spending at $1.66 trillion and called on their colleagues to vote against "out-of-control government" spending. This third stopgap funding bill, known as a "continuing resolution" or "CR," would simply extend last fiscal year's spending levels until two deadlines of March 1 and March 8 for completing action of spending for various government agencies.
