The U.S. budget faces uncertainty as Republican dysfunction hinders progress, risking a partial government shutdown despite ongoing efforts.

Details on the specific contents of the deal and potential consequences of a partial government shutdown.

Well, howdy there, internet people.
Let's vote again.
So today, we are going to talk about the U.S. budget
and the developments there,
and just kind of run through everything.
In case you don't remember,
only a portion of the budget for this year
has actually made it through.
There's still a pretty large piece
that has not gone anywhere
due to Republican dysfunction in the House.
That's really why this is happening.
Congressional leaders have announced that they have a deal.
They have until Friday to turn that deal into a reality.
Currently, at time of filming,
they are working on turning that deal into text.
What that means is that there is an incredibly high likelihood
we have a partial government shutdown. Now, in theory, it could be so short that we don't even
notice it. If lawmakers work through the weekend and everything goes according to plan and the
Senate plays ball, it could be done over the weekend, and then it's really not noticed.
but that's best-case scenario. It could extend beyond that.
There are grumblings in the House
about the deal already, basically saying that if it doesn't have the stuff that
they want in it, that they need to
vote against it, and this is coming from the Twitter faction,
I want to say there's about 40 Republicans
that have kind of indicated this. There are enough Democratic votes
to overcome that. So there is a high likelihood that it could be done during
that short window over the weekend and us not even notice it. But that requires
everybody to play ball and everything to go according to plan. Given what we have
seen so far. I mean I don't know how fair it is to expect that. So that's where
everything stands right now. There is a deal and they said that they've they've
made progress. I mean having the deal should have occurred, you know, last month.
Well it really should have occurred like five months ago, but here we are. So
there's progress being made, but there is there is still a risk of a government
shutdown, at least a partial one, and there is a possibility that it's
relatively short. The infighting within the Republican Party in the
house is becoming incredibly pronounced and it is continuing to cause issues nationwide.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
