When the current Congress returns to Washington after the elections, they will vote on a variety of last minute bills before the new Congress is sworn-in in January. Here are a few big ones to watch out for.
Omnibus Spending Bill to fund the government—Speaker Pelosi shouldn't get to pass Biden’s agenda for a third year before she leaves Congress. Conservatives should reject an omnibus spending bill written by outgoing Democrats.
Instead, Congress should pass a short-term continuing resolution that extends funding at its current level into the new year. This will allow for the newly elected Congress, which better reflects the will of the people, to set the spending and policy agenda for 2023.
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)—This is one of those “must-pass” bills that will make it to the President’s desk. For several years, virtue signalers have been trying to add a “Draft our Daughters” provision to the NDAA – and they are trying again this year.
Rather than focus on woke messaging, Congress should focus on military readiness, especially with the current heightened tensions on the world stage. And a provision to add women to the draft does nothing to improve military readiness—Congress should focus on polices that do.
