House votes to avert government shutdown through Dec. 20...Finally hitting our stride and these idiots can't find a way to compromise on the contentious issues.. Maybe with the Impeachment inquiry falling apart enough will wake up and do their duty. 58 years since they've been unable to pass a Defense Bill on time.

Lucas:

And we feel that time frame is actually sort of compressing a little bit, but we can’t speak definitively with how the government works and the timing. And further challenges with the CR, the continuing resolution.

Fools on the Hill

Pro-defense advocates have decried the budgeting delays and government shutdowns for their destabilizing effect on the military. Under the rules of a continuing resolution, the Pentagon is unable to begin 79 new-start programs or 39 planned production increases.
