No more hostage-taking with our budget; this bill is a firewall against fiscal chaos.

Shutting down the shutdown won’t fix the real problem: reckless spending habits.

Automatic appropriations: because government shutdowns are the only thing more outdated than dial-up internet.

Automatic spending limits? Sounds like Congress wants a blank check with fewer consequences.

If Congress can’t budget on time, at least programs won’t pay the price overnight.
