  • Negotiations over a short-term spending bill turned out to be more painful and prolonged than leaders in either party expected. Why it matters: Agreeing to a three-month bill should not be this hard.

The article from MSN discusses the outcomes of a recent three-month continuing resolution (CR) passed by Congress to avoid a government shutdown.

Losers include House conservatives who opposed the CR, feeling sidelined as their demands for spending cuts and policy changes were ignored.
