The lazy bums in Congress finally have reached an agree to fund the government through the end of the 2017 fiscal year, through September. That means, all the media and Democrat’s hope for a government shut down is now gone, at least until October. The bill will also continue to fund Planned Parenthood and the National Institutes of Health. Trump will still likely sign the bill, hence another year of tax payer funding for abortions. It must be nice to be a government funded abortion mill like Planned Parenthood.

Negotiators have reached a deal to fund the government through September, Congressional aides said, staving off the threat of a government shutdown through most of President Donald Trump’s first year in office.
The bill includes funding for the military by $15 billion, with $1.5 billion of that going to border security, but none of the border security money goes to funding the construction of a physical border wall or to hiring ICE agents.
The deal also doesn’t block funding for Planned Parenthood or sanctuary cities, both of which President Trump threatened to defund.
The deal also includes $2 billion for National Institutes of Health funding and year-round Pell grants, as opposed to grants only awarded twice per year.
