Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) opposed the idea of a continuing resolution that would give the House 30 days to finish the budget.
The House has only submitted four appropriations bills to set the government's budget for the year starting Oct. 1. There are eight more that have yet to advance. Still, Boebert suggested that slashing the budget would be a better solution than essentially only approving a partial budget via a continuing resolution, otherwise known as a stopgap.A Continuing Resolution is not a budget process.The overspending continues.
The current budget is slated to be less than what President Joe Biden and his allies strong-armed last year. Some Republican congressmen have counted that alone as a win, but it has proven insufficient for Boebert and Rep. Matt Gaetz , who seemingly will not vote for the rule with their fellow political party members.
Gaetz has implied that he would vote for the current Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill, along with the bills on agriculture, state operations, and foreign operations.Boebert is up for reelection in 2024 after stirring up controversy in her personal life in recent days. The two-term congresswoman made headlines when she was ejected from a musical performance of Beetlejuice, where she was seen in security footage vaping, taking photos, being groped, and groping her partner.
