On February 7, local time, Democrat Rosa DeLauro, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, formally proposed a temporary spending bill. The bill will continue to fund the federal government until March 11 this year to avoid a “shutdown”.
“Our nation needs a government-funded deal to create high-paying jobs, increase opportunities for the middle class, and protect national security,” DeLauro said in a statement. “We are close to a framework agreement, but more is needed. Time to complete comprehensive legislation. The proposed interim bill will extend funding for the federal government until March 11 to keep it running until Congress completes its important legislative work.”
The Biden administration’s first fiscal year budget has yet to pass Congress as Republicans staunchly oppose raising the federal debt ceiling again in a “bipartisan approach.” In early December, leaders of both parties finally announced an agreement on a “temporary funding bill” that would provide continued funding for the federal government to stay afloat until February 18 of this year.
