If they don’t approve it by Sept 30th then the Continual Resolution will be passed and President Bush can walk up to the treasury and get the money he needs for the military and current military ops. The Continual Resolution was designed this way to keep the traitors from within from destroying our defenses.

Never heard of the "Continual Resolution". Must research.

I think what was meant for a “Continuing Resolution” - they either continue to allow money to be spent (I think at 80% of last fiscal year’s level), or the whole government gets shut down.

“The most recent shutdowns occurred in FY1996. There were two during the early part of the fiscal year. The first, November 14-19, 1995, resulted in the furlough of an
estimated 800,000 federal employees. It was caused by the expiration of a continuing funding resolution (P.L. 104-31) agreed to on September 30, 1995, and by President Clinton’s veto of a second continuing resolution and a debt limit extension bill.”

If for some reason a continual resolution is not passed or vetoed then Defense Authorization turns into an essential service and can be funded as a loan.

Nor had I. Let's hope Reid/Pelosi et. al. haven't, either.
