The Republican House leaders set a goal in May of having a budget (implementing their conservative wishlist) done by August to cover the government through next September.

With their majority, their accomplishment over the past seven months has been to continue spending at current levels to today. Now, it looks like either a shutdown or (at best) another short continuation of current spending PLUS some additional spending.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but 2025 is looking a lot like 2024. While the tax BBB has passed, including a raised debt limit, there is still no actual budget or viable plan from the GOP majority to actually deal with deficits/debt when fiscal 2026 starts in October. August is slipping away.

Rep Massie fears another continuing resolution is on the way, and he says he'll be a no.
