In July, 21 Republicans signed\u2062 a letter \u200dthreatening to vote against appropriations \u200bbills unless they met a \u200blist of demands. One of those demands was to enact all appropriations measures at fiscal 2022 \u200blevels without increasing discretionary spending above the\u200b top-line.<\/p>\n<p>This\u2063 puts the House at odds with the Senate, who are displeased with the caps set in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-unveil-government-funding-debt-ceiling-bill-that-gop-has-vowed-to-oppose\/\" title=\"Democrats Unveil Government Funding, Debt Ceiling Bill That GOP Has Vowed To Oppose\">debt ceiling bill<\/a>. The Senate\u2062 has started marking\u200d up appropriations bills above those caps, \u200dcausing further tension.<\/p>\n<h3>Debate Over Emergency Spending<\/h3>\n<p>Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Patty\u200b Murray (D-WA) and ranking member\u2062 Susan Collins (R-ME) recently announced a deal\u2063 to add $8 billion for defense and $5.7 billion for nondefense emergency funds. Murray emphasized that \u2064emergency spending does not break\u2064 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kevin-mccarthy-debt-limit-should-be-treated-like-our-own-household\/\" title=\"Kevin McCarthy: Debt Limit Should Be Treated \"Like Our Own Household\"\">debt limit agreement<\/a>, as the law allows for\u200b funding to be designated as an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>However, members of the House Republican Conference are unlikely to see it that way. They remain steadfast in their commitment \u2064to cutting spending \u2063and are exploring other \u200cideas to achieve savings.<\/p>\n<h3>Race Against Time<\/h3>\n<p>With\u2062 just one week \u200cbefore the August recess, both chambers must pass appropriations bills before the end of September. The alternative would be a continuing resolution,\u2062 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-and-senate-set-for-a-collision-course-on-government-funding\/\" title=\"House and Senate on collision course over funding.\">short-term \u2062stop-gap measure<\/a> that extends government funding at the prior year&#8217;s rate, giving Congress more time to negotiate.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker McCarthy is determined\u2063 to avoid a continuing resolution and has been pushing to move the\u2064 appropriations bills \u200bthrough the \u2063process. However, \u200bwith the clock ticking, there isn&#8217;t much time for fighting between the House\u2064 and Senate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to \u200dread more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House and Senate are on a collision course over appropriations.
