White House Keeps Close Eye On Latest Budget Dance In Congress

Money(Washington, DC) — The White House is keeping a close eye on the latest budget dance in Congress.

The government runs out of money after December 9th without a funding extension.

It is looking like lawmakers may go for another short-term extension.

Presidential spokesman Josh Earnest said extending government funding two-to-three months at a time is not a very good approach.

He argued that the Pentagon especially needs longterm budget certainty to plan ahead properly.
