Biden signs government funding bill, averting shutdown crisis
Yes, He did that. At least he did ONE good thing.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed a government funding bill on Saturday, formally averting a shutdown crisis after Congress passed the bill.
The package funds the government at current levels through March 14 and includes $100 billion in disaster aid and a one-year farm bill. It did not include a debt limit extension demanded by President-elect Donald Trump.
"This agreement represents a compromise, which means neither side got everything it wanted," Biden said in a statement. "But it rejects the accelerated pathway to a tax cut for billionaires that Republicans sought, and it ensures the government can continue to operate at full capacity."
