Government Shutdown Looms: House Rejects Short-Term Budget Bill
First Posted: 9/21/11 05:54 PM ET Updated: 9/21/11 10:59 PM ET
WASHINGTON -- The House on Wednesday failed to pass legislation to keep the government funded past next week, a major defeat for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who was banking on having the votes for a package that tied emergency disaster aid to spending cuts.
The bill went down in a vote of 195 to 230. A whopping 48 Republicans sided with nearly all Democrats in opposing the measure aimed at keeping the government funded past Sept. 30, when current funding runs out, and through Nov. 18.

By the way, Paul Tonko was proud that they knocked down his bill, considering it only gave half of the money to FEMA for disaster recovery that the wanted. Gee, if the government is shut down, then I guess they'll be getting NOTHING instead of less than they need. This should have been passed, then they should have brought another bill to the floor. |

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
