... The plan was inspired by two conservative lawmakers: Florida Rep. Ted Yoho and Georgia Rep. Tom Price. The government funding portion would keep most of the government open until September 2015 but would only supply monies to the Department of Homeland Security until March. Government funding runs out Dec. 11.
House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), who writes spending bills, approved of the plan.
“I think that’s a good option,” Rogers told Politico Tuesday morning. “It passes the omnibus, which we need to get Republican spin on spending plus it avoids a shutdown. And on the Homeland Security, when we do a CR, it preserves that fight until we have more troops in the Senate.”

Me too!
Maybe a good political plan but what’s the plan when Obama vetos the omnibus?
This is Krauthammer’s plan, is it not? There is an article on Breitbart including a video clip wher he advocates a 1 year CR for everything but HS and EPA, with those two depts getting a 3 month CR.
Predict Obama won’t go for it. He will use the same argument he used during the last budget battle, namely not funding things piecemeal. The enemedia will back him.
Does it gut Obolacare? Does it fund border security? No? Then trash it. Force Obola to veto the budget and shut it down. Period.
Bonehead is a worthless t*rd.
Sorry for the language, but that’s about the best one can come up with if honesty is required.
Get rid of this loser.
If not, the GOP can kiss their sorry RINO *ss goodbye.
Rogers is the one giving the printing of illegal ID cards to General Dynamics, remember. The section of the ‘86 Simpson-Mazzoli act require that the Congress be given two years’ notice of intent to print SSNs for illegals.
No good. It defunds neither Obamacare nor Amnesty.
The GOPe is just as complicit as Obama for Obamacare and Amnesty.
I don't think it got to the President last year - Reid wouldn't let it pass. We'll have to see how this one gets spun in the press.
Then it’s his signature

In other words they kick the can down the road to March.
I didn’t read anything in there about actually passing a budget. Just more CR nonsense.
The EXEMPT continue DeathCARE/ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE
because they, and their Staff, .... are EXEMPT.
That survival is the only thing they care about.
Not open borders. Not the treason.
Not Benghazi. Not the IRS.
It is all about the EXEMPT, for the EXEMPT,
paid for by the stupid grubbered taxpayers.

Although those engaged in law enforcement in DHS will be allowed to function, I can see Obama and the Dems making a big deal about our fight against terrorism being held hostage to immigration reform.
And will the GOPe try to get a CIR bill passed prior to March? I would like to hear from Steve King and Jeff Sessions before giving this plan a thumbs up.
Bonehead really doesn’t have a choice, he has to do everything possible to hamstring the New Majority so as not to upset the Club. All that matters is the Club, got it?
It needs to be March not just for HS but also for EPA and Obamacare.
The President will threaten a veto. Why would he avoid the fight now, give the GOP an “open” govt where they can just shut down homeland sec in March?
The only positive thing about this plan is that Obama will threaten a veto, and then the House is that much closer to either a shutdown, or a CR for everything until March (no lame duck CR).
I can find no reference to that. Care to cite your source?
