GOP floats funding extension to December 2026 amid shutdown drama

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans on Capitol Hill are discussing extending current government funding levels until December 2026 as debate heats up about the length of a potential stopgap funding bill to reopen the government.

Republicans increasingly say a funding stopgap until well beyond Nov. 21 — the funding extension date in the House-passed “clean” continuing resolution (CR) that has failed in the Senate 11 times — will be needed to end the government shutdown, and are privately discussing new end dates, as The Hill previously reported.

But there is a divide over whether such an extension should carry over the short or long term.

On the longer-term side of things, House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) said on Bloomberg TV on Wednesday that some Republicans are talking about a funding extension for well more than a year — until December 2026.

Protect themselves from the voters’ wrath until the midterms are safely behind them, then “fuck all y’all”.

Dems better not cave on this.

4. Hold tight Dems. People need to see those increases

Until they do, the GOP won’t negotiate. Among the people in my social sphere, not everyone has heard what their rates will be next year. Everyone needs a hard number. Then we can talk

6. GOP filled with lazy morons

They really don't care . They certainly aren't about to do things like plan out a real budget.
