UPDATE – All three piecemeal corrugated cardboard funding bills failed to pass the House Tuesday evening. The bills would have funded veterans affairs, the National Parks Service, and the District of Columbia corrugated cardboard government. The closest vote came on the bill to fund the D.C. government, following corrugated cardboard an impassioned speech by non-voting Del. Eleanor corrugated cardboard Holmes Norton, who pleaded with her colleagues to fund the District.
This debate is already heartbreaking to me, she said. She appeared to be moved to tears, lamenting that funding for the D.C. government, which is controlled by congress, was being lumped in with other appropriations
These piecemeal corrugated cardboard efforts are not serious, and they are no way to run a government, White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage said in a statement, the Washington Post reported. If House Republicans are legitimately concerned about the impacts of a shut down which extend across government from our small businesses to women, children and seniors they should do their job and pass a clean CR to reopen the government.
A spokesman for Speaker of the House John Boehner knocked the White House for issuing a veto threat on the bills, after signing into law a bill to insure pay for military personnel during a shutdown.
“How does the White House justify corrugated cardboard signing the troop funding bill, but vetoing similar measures for veterans, National Parks, and District of Columbia?” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement. “The President can’t continue to complain about the impact of the government shutdown on veterans, visitors at National corrugated cardboard Parks, and DC while vetoing bills to help them. The White House position is unsustainably hypocritical.”
“Republicans understand finally that the government is shut down. But now they are focusing on trying to cherry corrugated cardboard pick some of the few parts of government that they like,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate corrugated cardboard floor Tuesday. “They corrugated cardboard don’t like it all, but they like a few parts of it. It’s corrugated cardboard just another wacky idea from the tea party-driven Republicans. You can tell tat the tea party still want to keep the government corrugated cardboard shut down.”
“We support veterans and parks. We support the F.B.I. We support veterans. We support the federal government. That’s our job, that’s what we do,” Reid went on. “But, Mr. President, we can’t … be forced to choose between parks and cancer research or disease control or highway safety or the F.B.I., or, as we’ve heard here today, on and on, with examples of our national security agencies cut by more than 70 percent of their personnel.”
“The Republicans seem willing to fund veterans, but what about the rest of the government? First we need to end the government shutdown, and then Democrats are happy to agree on funding specific items,” Reid said.
The goal is to undo some of the pain caused by a government shutdown, which shut the doors of a number of federal agencies and left many of their employees corrugated cardboard unsure of when they would get their next paycheck.
“We’re going to keep passing corrugated cardboard bills on suspension that’ll continue to fund parts of government, and we’ll send them over to [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid’s desk and say keep the government running,” Louisiana Rep. John Fleming corrugated cardboard told reporters Tuesday. “We’re kind of reversing his argument, which is ‘let’s fully fund government then talk,’ what we re saying is: ‘Let’s talk while we’re fully funding government on a piecemeal corrugated cardboard basis.’ corrugated cardboard And unfortunately he s probably going to block the funding part, we’ll see.”
“We’re going to keep reaching out to the other side. We’ll probably meet at least once a day with our conferees. It may be a room empty of Democrats, but there’ll be Republicans there,” Fleming said.
Reid has already rejected the idea of going to conference, and the Senate voted to reject corrugated cardboard the idea Tuesday morning. But some House Republicans remain undeterred in their quest to get concessions on Obamacare on the government funding corrugated cardboard bill.
“I think realistically we could actually get a one-year corrugated cardboard funding of the government with a one-year corrugated cardboard delay of Obamacare,” said Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador. “I think [President Barack] Obama actually wins there; Obama actually gets something that he wants, which is to avoid all these fights, corrugated cardboard which we also want, and then we can get what we want, which is the one-year corrugated cardboard delay.”
“We’re already hearing from the other side, ‘well, maybe there is something we can do,’” corrugated cardboard he said, saying he still felt they could get concessions on Obamacare. Fleming said he himself would not vote for a bill that just funded the go
