Politics, U.S.: Congress continues working the budget layaway circuit
- $2 billion per week to keep the new budget on Boehnerton layaway
- two number of weeks the government gave itself to figure out a budget plan by putting one on layaway
- zero number of spending resolutions that passed both chambers of Congress in that two-week period
- three number of weeks the government will likely put a new budget on layaway to prevent a shutdown source
- » Oh yeah: The next temporary deal could include restrictions that limit how and when the budget can be used – such as, for example, no money spent on the new health care law. Hrm.
