Obama states that it will have a direct impact on your economy. Also that national security works hard to keep us safe.

This Friday the spending will expire unless Congress approves funding.

Republicans who control the US senate will push for the fourth time to advance the measure. It needed more votes than it received from democrats. Even if it passed Obama would veto it unless immigrant restrictions were stripped
