Washington Post: “The clock is ticking on lawmakers, who find themselves on Thursday in a familiar race to address a slew of fast-approaching fiscal deadlines. Their chief task is to adopt a new spending measure before Dec. 16, otherwise Washington is set to run out of money, bringing federal agencies, programs and services to an undesirable halt.”
“The debate so far has proved difficult, and it remains unclear whether the two parties can reach a wide-ranging agreement in a matter of weeks. Without that package, known as an omnibus, Congress also may have no other legislative pathway this year to pursue its remaining policy priorities — including Democrats’ and Republicans’ preferred changes to the tax code.”
