“We were sent here to do a job, so it’s our duty to the American people to do it,” she said. “Let’s actually come in and vote.”
WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 11: Sen. Katie Britt speaks on border security and Title 42 during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on May 11, 2023 in Washington, DC. Senate appropriators are mulling a continuing resolution that would run until mid-December, which would put the chamber on a collision course with new Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who’s been pushing to kick final spending decisions into next year.
And with just two and a half weeks until the Nov. 17 funding deadline, it appears likely that aid will end up paired with the CR due to that time constraint. “I really believe the sooner we can get this done, it makes it such that our agencies can be much more efficient,” Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., a senior Appropriations panel member, said Tuesday. “We waste a tremendous amount of money when we don’t get it done in time.”
Senate Appropriations Chair Patty Murray, D-Wash., said during a Tuesday hearing that she agrees with Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III and Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken that it is crucial to pass full-year appropriations bills and avoid “perpetual CRs and devastating cuts” that harm the nation’s global standing.
“Once you are on an April CR, you are basically punting for the entirety of the year,” Murphy said. “I just think we have a responsibility to write budgets, and if you are on a CR until April, you are not writing a budget.” House Democrats appear to be on the same page as their Senate counterparts on wrapping up this calendar year.
