Congress is trying to agree on how to spend its money. The government tried to have enough money to have everything, but they only had enough money to do certain things, so they can’t do as many things as they were trying to do. The Senate passed a House bill to delay a government shut down until November 17. The measure keeps the government funded until November 17 at 2023 levels. If an agreement is not reached, most of the government jobs will shut down and not get paid if we have a shut down, because they need to agree about how to spend the government’s money. The government is thinking about spending a lot of money on helping Ukraine. Not everyone agrees they should do that. Most people do not want the government shutdown to happen.
