Rep. Mike Simpson (click here) is very worried about the funding for the Western USA in regard to the fires and the recovery of the nation. He states long term Continuing Resolutions will remove the funding obtained for the purpose of taking care of the people in Western states. He rather short term and/or individual bills to address the needs of the nation. He believes there are too many problems with any long term Continuing Resolution that will hurt the nation.

Congress's (click here) ongoing feuds over funding the government and raising the debt ceiling are confusing.
So don't let anyone mock you at the bar later when you are asked, "What's not to get about a bill to keep funding the government that has been turned into a Republican vessel for an ultimatum to defund the Affordable Care Act?"
For those just tuning in, the basic state of play is this: The House is poised to vote on a continuing resolution that defunds Obamacare and keeps the sequester cuts in place; meanwhile, the Senate is sure to keep funding Obamacare when the CR comes its way. House and Senate Republicans have been bickering over this, with House conservatives saying Republican senators like Ted Cruz won't do enough to fight Harry Reid on the issue.
And, yeah, they need to come to a resolution by the end of the month to avoid shutting down the government. Got it? You can also think of it as a football game. Time's running out in the fourth quarter. The Republicans need to break the Democrats to get the touchdown that will obliterate the ACA. And here's how they can win, or lose.
Among projects of the USA military possible for reduction of funding is the F-18 program. That project was cited TODAY, September 20, 2013 as a reason to reduce military government spending.

Officials stressed that they are not considering whether to ground the workhorse jet, because the problem does not affect its operation.

The US House needs to pass bills that supports the work and responsibilities of the nation and not just their political directives.
Colorado disaster relief needs will more than likely exceed $100 billion State Fund. Colorado is going to need a bill as did New Jersey. I am looking forward to the RIDER on this short term continuing resolution stating severe limits on CO2 and methane emissions in the USA. I do not see ANY emergency funding for any state going forward where caused by the Climate Crisis passing without a provision and/or amendment that defines the limits on CO2 and methane by the entire nation. The 'safe limits' can be defined by the scientific community.
