On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” House Minority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) stated that the appropriations process needs to change so that government funding bills are passed by the House before summer and the Senate can’t “wait until Christmas Eve, throw something together in this big omnibus bill where they have everything under the sun that nobody can read.”
Scalise said, “One of the things we’ve talked about is actually changing the way the entire appropriations process works. And as majority leader, I’ve already laid out a schedule, working with Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX), who’s going to be Chair of the Appropriations Committee,

Aren't all spending bills supposed to originate in the House of Representatives? If so, why are Republicans Congressmen just going along with an illegal budget through an illegal process? Congress passes the budget, then the Senate approves it. Has everyone in DC forgotten how budgets are passed or are they ignoring it?

Too late, Steve, we are already beyond the point where there will never be a true budget again. The name of the game is going to be "catch up" until the country spends itself into the abyss. Soon, the illegal alien invaders will be crossing the border back into Mexico looking for a better life.

we already have experience with "Govt Shutdown" and over a MUCH longer period than any caused by Budget Issues...they raised their costs, raised their pay didn't show up for nearly 2 years, they also shut down most private sectors....and you think the idea of a govt shutdown will scare "The People" now?
Demand a REAL budget, 12 separate appropriations, each debated, mathed out in turn. NO OMNIBUS, no longterm CR. Tax revenues have set record monies coming IN to the Govt nearly every month , every quarter, still they insist on spending much more than comes in...stop it now. No more Earmarks, adhere to pay/go, Lower the debt ceiling not raise it. Simplify the tax codes to where instead of 'needing' 87,000 more IRS agents we can reduce the size of the IRS by a similar number. Follow the LAW where it applies to unlawful border crossings, incarcerate them or immediately return them until the border is secure enough to STOP them from even trying to come in by unlawful means. Divert the currently spent funds being used to subsidize those people to prosecute, remove, punish them...as well as complete a method to stop any that try to replicate their paths. MORE illegals cross our border every week than Russians that have crossed into Ukraine, but we gave Ukraine $100BILLION and gave automatic weapons to EVERY person in that country that wanted one, told them they were free to shoot on sight ANY ONE without proper citizenship papers.
