| 摘要： | Top congressional leaders announced a bipartisan agreement on topline government funding that they hoped would lead to completing work on much-delayed appropriations bills for fiscal year 2024. Instead, the agreement triggered a revolt by about a dozen hard-line House Republicans who joined Democrats in defeating a procedural floor vote on an unrelated bill, a direct challenge to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). Members of the House Freedom Caucus already had expressed their opposition to the funding agreement reached by Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). "It's even worse than we thought," they stated on X, formerly known as Twitter, even questioning the topline figure of $1.59 trillion that Johnson had included in his letter to fellow Republicans. "Don't believe the spin. Once you break through typical Washington math, the true programmatic spending level is $1,658 trillion-not $1.59 trillion. This is total failure." In his letter to his colleagues, Johnson described "hard-fought concessions" secured to unlock the topline figure and allow the appropriators to begin the final work on the 12 annual spending bills. |
