As I wrote in an earlier post, someone must have something on Speaker Boehner.
House and Senate leaders finally released the text of a 1,600-page, $1 trillion spending bill for 2015 on Tuesday night that the House hopes to pass by Thursday, likely over the objections of many Republicans who wanted something tougher on immigration.
Conservative Republicans have been pushing for language that would prevent President Barack Obama from spending any money to implement his immigration plan. But as expected, that language didn’t make it in, which means Republicans would have to revisit that issue next year...
The GOP's are SO scared of being labeled that they shut down .gov. :facepalm:
They could have done a CR for 30 days and then acted when the new congress comes in. Pussies!

Published December 10, 2014, FoxNews.com
Liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans alike threw a wrench Wednesday into congressional leaders’ hopes of quickly passing a newly struck budget deal, with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi demanding that certain provisions be stripped.
The California Democrat had been coy for days over whether she would support the plan being hammered out in closed-door negotiations to fund the government past a Thursday-at-midnight deadline.

A good overview of a big portion of the high points of the budget bill.

I wrote a email to my Congressman yesterday and CC'd Speaker Boehner requesting that he does not support the omnibus bill but supported a 30 day continuing CR.
My congressman will do what ever Rep. Pelosi tells him to do however.
