Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday that there is “widespread agreement” among leaders in Washington about the need to pass an omnibus spending package next month, despite calls from conservatives to punt such decisions into next year.
But the GOP leader cautioned there are “significant hurdles” to reaching a deal, which means talks could drag right up until Christmas to avoid a government shutdown.
“We had a really good meeting. Laid out the challenges that we’re all collectively facing here. I think there’s widespread agreement that we’d be better off with an omnibus than a [continuing resolution], but there are some significant hurdles to get over to do that,” McConnell told reporters after meeting with President Biden and congressional leaders at the White House.
He said that “for myself and I think the majority of my conference, defense and Ukraine” funding are “at the top of the list” of priorities.
But he said Democrats’ request for increased nondefense discretionary spending is a “sticking point.”

Uh NO, you Rat.
“Team Mitch” is a Patriot Trojan Horse.
PORK PORK PORK PORK and PORK
Ominbus is just another name for Corruption
Ukraine shouldn't be on the top of anyone's list.
Widespread indeed.
Widespead parting of the cheeks, he meant.
Plus he got his Cocaine Mitch kickback.
Let’s all bend over and grab our ankles for Mitch OMG.
I wish I could recall the politician who wanted to pass a law that that every bill could only be 5-10 pages. Seems like a good idea. Let them vote on each separately, it’s not like they have anything else to do.
There’s not widespread agreement among those ordinary Americans who have to pay for all of it.
McConnell is a son of a ho. He serves no one but the highest bidder. Can hardly wait for him to retire.
Yeah. That’s all we have gotten from McConnell for his whole tenure. “Good meeting. Widespread agreement.” Drivel.
Nah. Mitch is a democrat
Betcha there’s more agreement that McConnel should be encased in carbonite and launched into the sun. Snuff the turtle.
Collapse it, Mitch. Sure, why not.
Just tax us more like Paul Ryan said.
It’s not like we aren’t already paying through the nose for inflation, energy and taxes.
Taxus lets the local counties rape us in property taxes to pay for all the schools these liberal transplants and illegals.
I’ve had enough of this.

Neither of these are “at the top of the list” for U.S. citizens.
Mitch dropped trou, bent over, and grabbed his ankles.
Schmucky Choomer moved in to take advantage ...
Before Obama took power, and the first year in power, the Federal government massively increased spending in many, many areas. They then used this ‘omnibus’ insanity to pile on more and more spending. Many Federal departments increased and then declared that the new, total spending increase level to be the baseline. When Pelousy became Speaker the first time, she closed her office door and created new spending / regulation legislation without the usual committee, subcommittee process that was used previously. Before Pelousy, for 6 decades, I remember following the news on how many bills (pieces of legislation) ‘made it out of the committee’ and would be voted on, or altered with the amendment process.
Pelousy threw all of that out. After a few chosen congressmen crafted a very large omnibus, continuation monstrosity, Pelousy would force each DemocRAT to vote for it. Anyone who balked at it was in danger of losing their next election. Pelousy and company held the massive purse strings on re-election funds.
Pelousy and the RATS would wait until Thanksgiving and Christmas to present the omnibus bill, stating, each time, the incredible urgency of passage. We have to pass it to find out what is in it. Read, discuss? Oh, the horror!
‘There is no time to read it’ Women, children, and old people need the money right now. The Drive-By Media would excoriate any politician that would bring up the fact that a large percentage of the spending is borrowed money that our children and grandchildren will be paying back for years.
All this is yet another reason and example of why Trump is such a danger to the status quo. Any interruption in the flow and increase of the trillions would be ‘catastrophic.’ DemocRATS might actually have to get a real job. I will never forget a San Francisco democRAT stating the truth about elections: If we don’t win, we don’t eat. Getting up every day and working for a living is anathema to these creeps.
Nah. Mitch is a democrat
Secretly a member of the Chinese Communist Party
