The Senate has approved a stopgap spending bill in order to avert a government shutdown just hours before funding was set to expire

The bill, which will keep the government funded through December 11, passed out of the upper chamber overwhelmingly by a vote of 84-10 and is expected to be signed by President Donald Trump. It was approved by the House last week by a wide margin. The President must sign the legislation before midnight to take the threat of a shutdown prior to the November presidential election off the table.

The agreement clinched by Pelosi and Mnuchin includes a provision that will likely send tens of billions of dollars to the Commodity Credit Corporation -- a priority for Republicans and bipartisan members from agricultural states and districts -- which will replenish crucial aid to farmers. It includes some restrictions, after Democrats raised concerns that the money was being utilized by the Trump administration to distribute funds to favored political interests.

Biden blames economic shutdown on President Trump. WRONG! There was no federally mandated economic shutdown ordered by the White House. Coronavirus restrictions on businesses and public places were imposed at the state level.

Why do they do this crap?

The republicans have ruined themselves. They spent so many years trying to stop anything happening under Obama that they have no idea how to do their jobs and serve the American people. Vote them out.
