| 7. Watch the Omnibus bill that is introduced |
|
Last year's bill was 1100 pages long and included something for every Repub to put under their Christmas Tree.
The Congress must authorize the budget bill for the US Government to continue. (Remember Clinton and Gingrich locked in a dispute that shut down the government back in '95?) A budget must pass. The Omnibus bill does contain the budget, however it also contains a whole lot of other stuff that people attach to this must-pass bill.
This year's bill could be just awful.
