So what happens in January?

I read that most of the funding in the CR only goes through the end of January, except SNAP which goes through September. What happens then? Any thoughts?

Further capitulation and caving by those 8 pathetically embarrassing senators with Ds next to their names who caved last night. Merrick Garland Democrats in action.

And they will point to how it opened up when we voted for it to open up and now it is shut down again.

Just a dumb move all around.

If they extend it they will debate costs vs. tax increases vs. benefits cuts. Work requirements are not going to fly in this economy. If history is any guide they will not enact higher deductibles since no one can pay them, so they'll abandon some segments of the population by exempting them from coverage. Adult men first in line to be kicked off ACA.
