They passed a continuing resolution for all departments at the same time, with the exception that they defunded Obamacare unless it was delayed one year.
The only departments that they passed individual appropriations for were the military and parts of the state dept. They passed an appropriation for the military that would keep them paid in the event of a government shutdown. The Senate passed that one and Obama signed it.
I'm not sure what happened with the state dept. It probably went through as well.
But I think they should split the continuing resolution up by department. And pass one department at a time. Reid probably wouldn't touch them, because it's not the blanket no strings continuing resolution he wants. But primary responsibility for spending is with the House and the House needs to excert it's authority.
Michelle Bachmann was on Hannity today and that’s what she said.
Don’t shoot the messenger. Lol
