Military Times | This week in Congress: Budget deal remains elusive as shutdown looms

‌

Congressional leaders have just five days left to reach a deal on a full-year funding plan for fiscal 2023 or trigger a partial government shutdown on the eve of their planned holiday break.

‌

Lawmakers earlier this fall passed a short-term budget extension that runs through Dec. 16 as negotiations continued over a full-year budget plan for federal operations. Now, with that deadline fast approaching, no deal has been finalized.
