WASHINGTON — Members of Congress return from summer recess facing a Sept. 30 deadline to fund the federal government, a deadline they are certain to miss, as they have each of the past 18 years. The question is: Will the government shut down Oct. 1, or can lawmakers agree to a temporary spending plan while they argue about a longer-term solution?
The "normal" congressional budget process involves the House and Senate passing 12 separate spending bills for various agencies and programs around the government, each of which must be signed by the president by the time federal spending authority expires Sept. 30. But according to the Congressional Research Service, Congress has failed to fund all or most federal agencies by the Sept. 30 deadline every year since 1997. Instead, lawmakers pass a series of temporary funding measures — called "continuing resolutions" — and then wrap most of the funding into a single "omnibus" spending package.

Continuing Resolution will happen. No days off! I wish it would happen though. I can use a few days off or maybe a week. You know the back pay will kick in once all is said and done. FREE VACATION!!!!
