With shutdown in view, House GOP weighs no-strings budget patch

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Known as a continuing resolution, the stopgap plan froze government spending at existing levels to give lawmakers time to negotiate a more permanent budget for the 2024 fiscal year.
48% : Johnson has said that his laddered plan would separate federal spending necessary to keep the government open from supplemental budget squabbles, arguing in a Saturday post on X, formerly Twitter, that it would put Republicans in a good position to advocate for policy changes on a number of conservative priorities, such as budget cuts, oversight of Ukraine aid and border security.
46% : "My opposition to the clean CR just announced by the Speaker to the House GOP cannot be overstated," said Texas Representative Chip Roy on X. "Funding Pelosi level spending and policies for 75 days -- for future 'promises."
40% : While the new speaker's proposal would piecemeal federal funding extensions, it would not immediately cut spending from any government programs -- which some GOP lawmakers said puts it on par with the "clean" continuing resolution negotiated in September by McCarthy.
