PO1 William "Chip" Nagel nothing has changed... just a name...
..."Republicans are weighing multiple options in the House, sources tell ABC News:

A straightforward stopgap bill at current spending levels to a TBD date (this has bipartisan support)
A stopgap bill with added sweeteners, likely related to border security (this does not have bipartisan support)
Getting Approved for 1 of These Cards Means You Have Excellent Credit

A complicated idea to extend funding for government agencies in two separate batches, which is called a "laddered" approach (this also does not have bipartisan support)
Johnson seems to be running into the same problems as his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, who had to carefully maneuver between moderates and hard-right conservatives in his conference before his historic ouster.

He faces a mixed-bag of political positions that he will have to maneuver around: Some Republicans have already announced they don't like the idea of a clean CR; some are rooting for steep off-setting budget cuts; some Republicans want controversial border policies attached.

Johnson has indicated he supports a clean CR and says he's hopeful he will get conservatives on board. When McCarthy made this same move at the end of September, he lost his job when hard-liners revolted."...

Republicans have in austerity plan but President Biden has a plan to keep spending.

He denies there is a border wall problem, He thinks the climate emergency is more important than the wars going on in the world right now and the threats happening the taiwan and he wants to do an omnibus Bill that adds a whole bunch of fat and pork instead of having a stand alone bill. The federal reserve cannot rein in inflation for the remainder of his term or terms, if he keeps spending like a drunken sailor.

But you can't argue with an idiot who barely passed law School and who doesn't know the first thing about economics nor finance.

Is that austerity plan like their health plan.....nonexistant? A week out from a shutdown one would think someone would have revealed that plan!
