Stopgap Bill Can Affect You.....

Late morning Friday, Sept. 20, 2013, USA Today published an article titled "House passes spending bill that defunds 'Obamacare'". The U.S. House approved a stopgap spending bill aimed at dismantling the president's health care law, however it does face opposition from the Senate and a possible veto from President Obama himself. The bill itself extends the current rate of government spending at $986 billion a year. Without a resolution on the stopgap spending bill, the federal government will face a shut down at the beginning of October. If the federal government does in fact shut down, some governmental programs will continue going while others will stop operating. To see a more detailed list of such governmental programs, please read the article from USA Today.
