Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin appears on Fox News Sunday to talk about negotiations with Speaker Pelosi for a funding mechanism for government. Mnuchin outlines another “CR” (“Continuing Resolution”) that will extend funding through December 2020.
Additionally, Mnuchin discusses a “very targeted” COVID-19 support bill for those sectors, industries, companies and small businesses feeling the strongest impact. As the treasury secretary outlines, the administration is seeking optimal solutions for the current status.

I have been wondering why no discussion re: a budget when current funding ends at the the end of this month. Very curious.
Hey all you gamblers … POTUS said early on – no more CRs.
So … A shutdown or a CR?

I wouldn’t hold the President to a Contiuing Resolution pledge in these circumstances.
All their lives, Democrats have dreamed of spending a trillion dollars on health care, unemployment benefits and schools–and get Republicans to go along with it! Now that it’s here, they don’t want to because it might help the People and help The President.
They are so eaten up with Trump Derangement Syndrome, they’re willing to burn down their own cities in hopes of pinning it on him. That’s not a political party trying to win an election. It is a societal Murder/Suicide Pact by a Left-Wing Death Cult locked in a Death Spiral with Reality.

Congratulations on the best description I have seen to date of the modern Democratic Party!!
so, Gipper
your guess / bet is yes, there will be a CR?
I tend to doubt it. I don’t think Democrats can stop themselves from going over the cliff. I don’t think they even WANT to.
Not sure about the don’t want to but are so bought into the hate and lies that they think this will win.
Like Hitler’s bunker. Waiting for salvation while Russian artillery boomed outside.
Excellent observation, Gipper.
I totally agree.
Speaking of gamblers, reminds me of Nevada. Did ya’ll know that the mustang ranch and other ho houses qualified for the payroll protection? I say no more money! We’ve all seen what the politicians have already done and who they’ve already bailed out. The dems say “we want 6 trillion”, the republicans say “no, we’ll give you 3 trillion”, they both claim victory. The dems tell their base “we wanted to give you more, but the evil republicans dont care about the American people”. The republicans tell their base “we had to cave to them, because we had to get help to the American people”, Yada, yada, yada, and the game goes on, and in the meantime, the country is up in flames and going broke. Then California will keep their fires going as long as possible for state of emergency money. It’s the games they all play.
I would like all of you Treepers to consider this, If Pres. Trump Dumps Faucci and replaces him with Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale, distributes HCQ, etc. and opens the country up in 12 days, then we will have a proper election in November. Getting rid of Faucci is key to our survival. No more shutdowns.
Funny the people I see doing shut downs are Democrats .. so get rid of Democrats.
Fauci has no power, and has been the head of NIH Infectious for 30 years. Getting rid of him on only causes more problems then they are worth.
Along with the fact all he does is interviews, so that wouldn’t stop even if he weren’t in a government position.
We have ouch back at the unhinged Democrats and their power grabs.
CRV are completely up to Congress they pass the budget not the President, Congressional budget and spending bill by law has to originate in the House… that is completely up to loon Pelosi who by the way started CRV’s when she became speaker in 2007
Any companies supporting Black Lies Matter should be denied funds.
joe, I denying all of them I know about my funds.
I have a big list of them. I don’t want to hog the board by posting it, but it’s a long one.
Please post.
I posted it but it’s now awaiting moderation. My guess is it won’t make the cut. It is way too long.
I’m doing the same as Sherry of Texas..
Our only tool to stop Pelosi, Schumer, et al is to run up the score in November.
If you follow the Brietbart Headlines, 48 of 50 major US (Democrat) cities have serious damage to repair. That means 10’s of Billions of dollars in cost. ILL, NY and CA are facing a major exodus of tax revenue generating business, and are staring massive tax increases on voters and businesses surviving China Virus Sham-demic destruction.
Chances of a clean CR = negative numbers.
It is just a matter of how much PORK money Shanghai Mitch and the GOPe feel they need to hang onto their phony baloney jobs, as to how big a deficit there will be.
so, doc00, your bet / guess is NO?
Knowing the Dimms as we do, that is my guess, too.
I’ve been watching (I only pay attention to TCH) for news of progress on funding for individual parts of the government – nothing. Stimulus $$ only
Americans are not in the mood for bailouts. If Mnuchin can do a minimalist CR to get to December, he’ll win the day. The Dem-rats demand bailout, but Trump is not amenable to that, certainly not before the election, and they know it, and they must certainly know they won’t get one while the election is being contested; internal polling shows them they are not in a winning position. Another thing they fail to recognize: if they really do manage to foul up the presidential election, they also foul up their own because election for federal offices are on the same ballots; the entire House and 1/3 of the Senate, including Schumer and McConnel, will be out of a job on 3 January when their terms end. That is mandated by the Constitution and they cannot avoid it. It’s going to be a royal cat fight, but the election WILL be resolved before 3 January one way or the other because even THEY can’t be that stupid. (Dems! That last statement is NOT a challenge!) In Trump’s State of the Union address next year, he can advise the House and Senate that there WILL be a budget in place before October 2021 because he pledges to veto any further CR past that date. Everyone KNOWS Trump keeps his promises.
?????
THIS!
allin4freedom, Americans who have a thinking brain are definitely not for bailouts as you said and your points about a contested election appear to be valid after reading everything I could find on the subject.
But we all know it won’t make a darn bit of difference come Nov. 3,4,5 and beyond. The Dems know they can only win by cheating and thankfully our President knows the same.
I saw an article in Faux News this am which disappeared but the headline was ‘China Mitch not concerned about voter fraud.”
That’s all you need to know folks about our R “leadership”. RINO’s should be in season about now.
This is an election to the death if you ask me. No way around it.
along this line.”if” the election is contested past jan 3rd who would take over as senate majority leader?chuck grassley??
I suspect it would be Shumer. There are 22 Republican and 12 Democrat Senators election. If the election results are in limbo forcing out the incumbants, the Democrats will have a 35-31 majority, plus the 2 Independents that caucus with the Democrats. Schumer will demand to be majority leader in that situation, and the Supreme Court would most likely have to rule on it since I don’t think it has ever happened before.
22 R and 12 D up for re-election.
Incumbents are not forced out if there is an election foul up. The election results for all those new bees would be in limbo, not the incumbents.
The entire election is on the same ballot. So, if the presidential election is delayed, so are the elections for the new bees as well as all the referendums and bond issues on the ballot. There is more at stake her for the democrats to consider.
My bigger worry is congressional election fraud to flip the senate and fraudulent actions to by democrats to hold the house, at this point. The democrats proved in 2018 that steeling congressional races can be done. The democrats can afford to let President Trump be re-elected, while carrying the congress.
Sorry, but the ENTIRE House is up for re-election every two years, and the terms for Senators and Representatives end at noon on 3 January. Period. Twentieth Amendment.
Nope. Schumer is up for reelection this year.
Ok, I didn’t see his name on the list.
Whoever the ranking Democrat is then.
In order for any Senate elections to take place, the vice-president must swear in the members of the Senate – and that ain’t happenin’ under this scenario. That said, the line of succession is: President, Vice-president, Speaker of the House, President pro tempore of the Senate, and Secretary of State. Therefore, if the electoral carnage were to go past 3 January, both Pelosi and McConnel would be ineligible: Mike Pompeo would become President until the election is sorted out.
president pro tempore is chuck grassley. he is not up for re-election.so he would assume presidency.correct?
You are correct. My bad. McConnel is Senate Majority Leader.
We can dream anyway. That has been my dream for decades now.
What you said! No reason for the president to give OUR money to clean up their mess. I’m sure he will make some offers after the election. We had “shovel ready” jobs and plenty of infrastructure projects; why should funds be re-directed or added to cities that were in tact before the dems went crazy? What a waste.
Doc, Senate Republicans are putting out a $500 billion Coronavirus bill to help schools, $300/week for unemployed & a very few all Coronavirus items.
Democrats are back to the $3 trillion they passed in May. Seems to me the TDS has finally made them totally & fully insane. And with all of the Democrat politicians showcasing their hypocrisy in the last 7-8 months, including Piglosi’s demand for an apology for being “set-up” to break San Francisco’s lockdown law, more Americans are waking up who won’t tolerate their crap anymore.
I cannot understand what is any voter with a retirement cannot see it go to zero if Biden/Harris is elected. I also cannot see what it is any voter cannot see BLM/Antifa at their front door if Biden/Harris is elected.
Proof is the Portland, Oregon Mayor greeting BLM/Antifa at his front door. If they can do it to the mayor of Portland, Oregon what in hell stops them from greeting you no matter where in hell your front door?
The reason they are at your front door is to take your guns if any and the other reason is to make sure you are wearing your mask that is if you are not Nancy Pelosi. Lol
“Wealth” Tax is Dimms Plan…10% off the Top…doesn’t affect “new rich” social media…destroys “old money” real estate landed interests…
You are assuming the democrats do something they have never done in the past 75 years, keep an economic promise.
The current riots and BLM are proof. The idiots doing the rioting live in cities run by the very same democrats whom they elected and supported by the same democrats they send to congress every election.
I love to watch Mnuchin. Totally unflappable, totally knows what’s up…and really smart.
I like Mnuchin as well but my favorite of the honey badgers is Navarro because he isn’t as structured but is very engaged and mindful. The thing I think I like most about him is that he seems like one of us, a deplorable, so maybe that’s why I can relate better to him.
Star, yes, Navarro is great. I love it when someone tries to go tangentially to what Peter is saying. He just pulls them right back where he wants to be. Love the guy.
I’m a Wilburine fangirl myself. 😀
TreeClimber, I admire everyone of them as well. Wilburine, Robert “Light saber” Lighthizer, Peter Navarro, Mnuchin…..real warriors everyone. And I’m sure there are others behind the scenes that help these guys. Real Patriots who love our country unlike the scum who still hide in plain sight in DOJ, State and FIB!
Hoping that Wilbur is doing ok and taking a well needed rest before the BIG ONE!
I agree with this. Navarro is a very interesting speaker.
when is the second stimulus check coming..reading this looks like October..
The Senate bill McConnell will put out is $500 billion to help schools & add $300/week to the unemployed & a few coronavirus items. No $1,200 to every American in there right now.
Wait, did the president call for someone at fox to be fired? (Not that I like Fox News at all)
Tiffthis, yes he called for the firing of Jennifer Griffin, but I don’t details.
Drg13, thanks. I wasn’t able to read the open thread with all the tweets.
I believe it is because she said she had impeccable anonymous sources who corroborated the Atlantic hit piece nonsense…
How many years now has our government been operating legally out side the Constitution with no Budget?
Illegally
Yes, DeWalt you are quite right. Originally, I was going to place my own post here, but your main point is a lead into similar thinking, and I would simply be redundant.
Basically, this is a Munchkin from Goldman saying we dug a hole, not lets go deeper and common sense be damned!. No budget, no planning, just keep digging.
If the process decides that we cripple the nation and enslave future generations, so be it. As for production, well we may bring it home or we may not, but we will deliver the debt no matter what.
Kick the ball, kick the ball and just let it all fall in the future.
DeWalt you are right on with the narrative, I just added a few words.
Please be well and take care of yourself.
Best…

Since 2010, I believe.
When the Tea Party swept Republicans into the House, Senator Reid basically shut the Senate down. Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) committee did write the Senate budget, but Reid never brought it to the floor to reconcile with the House budget.
Serious question.
A HUGE part of the electorate watches TV only. They don’t ‘do’ Twitter, Facebook, etc.
As such, a HUGE part of the electorate believes what they see on TV.
I am asking this question because I do not personally own (by choice) a TV.
Is the Trump campaign flooding TV with their ads?
Apparently, the Biden campaign is flooding TV in Pennsylvania with ads. This is how our Governor (Wolf) won in the first place — thru TV ads.
Most of the electorate is not aware that Congress holds the purse strings, and that currently, Congress = Pelosi.
Are there any ads on TV that place negative economic issues solely on Pelosi???
I see ads from the Trump campaign, but I’m seeing them online.
My point is, IF the Trump campaign is NOT seriously focusing on TV ads — THAT is a problem.
“TV” was not nice or fair to DJT in 2016.
Yet he won. So apparently all those TV watchers still figured out that voting for Trump was far more in their best interest than Shrillary.
Now with devastating riots, violence, and BLM bullying encouraged by kneeling Democrat dictator mayors, governors, and Congress members, Democrats shutting down cities and states, prosecuting small businesses, churches, etc even after the President has encouraged all to re-open, …. do you still think that voters won’t take all that into consideration?
The lines are much clearer now. Do you want a Communist-style government or a Trump style-government? One style remains free and one style becomes slaves of the State.
Do black voters want to return to slavery as long as whites are slaves too or do Blacks want to remain free alongside free whites?
It’s been a quiet weekend here in Mooresville NC for Trump ads………
No talk of the $300 Billion at hand POTUS wants to get out to average citizens as Covid payment #2?
PC, No offense but I thought he said 300 million which is still close to a million per LEGAL citizen. Correct me if I’m wrong.
A million for 300 citizens?
Common core strikes….
I forgot the /sarc at the end…..I know, I know I should reread what I typed before posting.
I’m going to sit in the Bin for awhile… ;-(
300 million divided by 300 million citizens is 1. 300 billion divided by 300 million citizens is 1,000. How many of us got 1,200 dollars the first time? I’m surprised, when I think about getting that first check, that anybody could or would think of voting for anyone else after that.
There isn’t going to be another stimulus bill or any more checks to individuals. Democrats won’t pass anything that will help the economy.
I tend to agree with you. The economy has been picking up again without it. And it hasn’t been a topic of interviews lately. It could back-fire on democrats, though, if the people who really want or need a second check realize or are informed it’s the democrats stopping them from getting it.
So both parties agree to another CR. That means the GOP surrenders it’s right to create the last budget of the Trump term (beginning October 1). Instead they will defer until January so if Biden is elected with Pelosi still in control of the House, the Democrats can put together a budget in which they get EVERYTHING they want. McConnell is irrelevant. He just does whatever the uniparty wants.
Dear Cabbage Patch Kid,
Calling for the firing of a “journalist” with no journalistic integrity is not cancel culture. You don’t seem to understand cancel culture. Maybe you should spend your time on that rather than asking ridiculous questions about a fake news story published by a fake journalist in a fake newsrag.
