Yes I know. But ...
Speaker Johnson gave an update on the budget appropriations process in that last 2-3 day. 3 of the 12 resolutions apparently passed the house floor and the rest are coming out of committeee. It was Johnson who talked about a November deadline on a fox business video. This is Johnson’s statement, unfortunately he is on so many videos the one containing the statement with reference to Nov. is proving difficult to find. Perhaps it is a self imposed deadline like July 4th for the BBB.

Linked (link timed to that porion of the video) are Johnson’s comments on Rand’s position. The remainder of the video addresses the opportunity to cut government positions afforded by the shutdowns.

Be aware that each year the federal agencies state what they want funded (just like the kiddies state what they want for Christmas).
Congress only to give it, cut it or deny it (just like mommy and daddy).
Congress then adds stuff for their districts and state, and pork. The representatives and senators could be told to have their requests in by June 1.
There’s really no good reason why a budget can’t be produced in plenty of time.
